Eastman professional basses are crafted from the highest quality materials available and are hand tuned for optimum resonance, richness, and power.
OUR BASSES
Different patterns, sizes, and features.
We offer a variety of patterns, sizes, and features to work best in classical, jazz, and many other musical styles.
Our ⅞ size bass is patterned after the work of renowned 18th century bass maker Domenico Busan. This bigger and deeper bass is designed for the orchestra, with a larger body to provide more air and resonance to support those lower notes and fundamentals. Adding an Eastman C Extension to the Busan gives access to the low notes used in professional orchestral settings and adds to the overall resonance of the instrument.
A truly classic shape. Featuring great volume and easy playability.
A stylish violin corner design with full-bodied sound. Featuring a full fundamental tone and a warm, centered sound.
A slender instrument with good midrange and easy playability in all registers.
A distinctive bass pattern from the 19th century workshops of Germany and Italy. Balances chocolatey dark sound with midrange punch.

Our ⅝ size bass is made for the smaller player that still wants a big, resonant sound. This newly designed violin corner pattern is smaller but also deeper, with an ergonomic shape that doesn’t sacrifice low-end response.
The shorter string length is perfect for smaller hands while still providing projection and clarity for the orchestra and beyond. This pattern opens the door for even more people to play in comfort and with a big sound, no matter their size.
Unlike violin, viola, and cello, the standard bass size for adults is ¾. By the time a student reaches high school, they will usually be ready to play a ¾ size bass.
¾ size basses are not ideal for everyone, though, and Eastman offers two additional sizes for adult bassists—⅝ and ⅞.
Our ⅞ size bass is patterned after the work of renowned 18th century bass maker Domenico Busan. This bigger and deeper bass is designed for the orchestra, with a larger body to provide more air and resonance to support those lower notes and fundamentals.
With an arched back with a bend drawn from centuries of bass-building tradition, this larger body balances ergonomic design with premium resonance. The Busan pattern dates back centuries, and Eastman is proud to bring this classic look, feel, and sound to more bassists.
Complex, powerful, and well-balanced instruments.
