A Stunning Orchestral Double Bass
The Eastman VB605 Busan double bass boasts a premium spruce top, an eye-catching flamed maple back and ribs, and a body shape meticulously designed to facilitate an easily accessible higher register and an incredibly resonant tonality. You get an ebony fingerboard and tailpiece, along with hand-inlaid purfling, a Despiau 1 Tree bridge, and French-style Rubner brass tuning machines. The VB605 Busan was plate-tuned by a master luthier for unparalleled projection, sonic character, and playability.

Larger Venetian-inspired Busan pattern
Inspired by the work of 18th-century Venetian builder Domenico Busan, this double bass boasts a larger body pattern with an arched back and a bend designed to make reaching the higher registers seem effortless. Moreover, the VB605 Busan's deeper ribs facilitate an airy resonance and pronounced lower-note fundamentals. We're impressed with the VB605 Andreas Eastman Busan here at Sweetwater; its premium spruce top, gorgeous flamed maple back and ribs, and radiant German-style amber-colored spirit varnish finish put it in a class all by itself.
Eastman: crafting fine instruments since 1992
Accomplished flutist Qian Ni founded Eastman in 1992 after graduating from the Boston University School of Music. Similar to Sweetwater, Eastman started as a one-man operation, with Ni selling instruments out of the back of his car. Today, Eastman is a global maker of musical instruments, but they've never lost sight of their humble beginnings. Players — both students and professionals alike — searching for an instrument with outstanding sound, comfortable playability, and traditional craftsmanship will find exactly what they're looking for from Eastman.
