Beautiful starter symphonic bass.
The MLS 110 Apprentice Collection double bass outfit is a laminate that sounds like a carved bass. Whether you are a student, a professional or a music educator in need of a bulletproof bass without the compromises usually associated with laminate, the Maple Leaf Strings MLS 110 is a great choice. Using a unique process, Maple Leaf imitates a graduated top and back, then inlay real purling. This yields an instrument that holds up to abuse, but still projects with a tone like a fully carved instrument. Proper setup with prelude strings and an adjustable bridge adds to its diverse use. A protective bag and graphite bow complete the package.
