Endeavour ‘Interceptor’ Electric Double Bass with active electronics.
Endeavour electric double basses are hand-crafted to quality specifications of The String Workshop.
The “Interceptor” series electric double bass outfit Includes bass, removable support arm, carbon fibre bow, bag, and rosin.
These electric basses stand out from other brands of ‘cheap’ and ‘low-spec’ electric double basses which unfortunately swamp today’s market. Endeavour electric basses are built to higher spec requirements, and produce an alive and clear resonance which exceeds the tone of other electric basses in this price range. Made from hand-selected tonewoods for the most natural and resonant tone, hand crafted, and then carefully wrapped in carbon fibre vinyl for a modern look. They then undergo thorough quality control checks before being sent to New Zealand. Once landed, they are again inspected and evaluated for quality. Each instrument is then personally set-up by Phil Whitehead and professionally adjusted for perfect playability, and for the most clear and ‘sizzling’ tone.
New Zealand’s professional entertainers agree; "Endeavour electric double bases are excellent instruments."
