The Chadwick Folding Bass
Acoustic basses have always been a problem to transport. The instrument is large and fragile. Professional bassists who travel long distances to engagements have to choose between risking damage to their bass, or borrowing/renting an unfamiliar (and often inferior) instrument.Now there's another option: The Chadwick Folding Bass, a standard acoustic bass that can be transported safely because all the vulnerable parts are securely stowed inside the body. There are no tools needed to assemble the bass, and it can be easily set up in under 2 minutes. Bass and case weigh under 50 lbs., avoiding over-weight charges when traveling by air, and it will comfortably fit in a compact car trunk. The Chadwick Folding Bass is made by Shen Musical Instruments, a highly respected maker. The bass has an ebony fingerboard, spruce veneer top with inlaid purfing, violin corners, and is finished with a rich oil varnish. The Chadwick Folding Bass comes completely set up, with Spirocore strings, adjustable bridge, and fiberglass case. For all the details on the Chadswick Folding Bass go to FoldingBass.com.
