King Doublebass Upright Basses

King Doublebass take their bass design seriously. Everyone who works for King plays upright bass actively. They are always thinking of ways to innovate, improve or enhance the upright bass. Their research and development department is constant hands-on in loud clubs, studios, rehearsal halls and their bass workshop. King Doublebass are always striving to improve upon the classic design of the doublebass. King’s innovations come from the guy sanding basses to the touring professionals who play them, not from some guys in a cubicle.

The Road King finish really sets it apart with a hand-painted flame design and hand striping that makes each instrument unique. The price includes a professional setup that would normally cost you hundreds of dollars.
