This new Shen SB 150 3/4 Hybrid model (2018-4-27) has a strong fundamental and a rich low end, great for traditional jazz playing or as a strong section oriented orchestral bass. Very fine grain top that reminds me of Sitka spruce from northern Washington, Laminated maple back and sides, Mpale neck, Single unit gold plated tuning machines, 10 mm steel rod endpin, Teller bridge with added adjusters, Red oil varnish finish, Strung with D’Addario Zyex strings.
