Acoustic Road Bass models at the 2010 NAMM Convention.

professional bassists is now being offered in a carved spruce and maple model, a hybrid model, and an updated "traditional laminate" model. These upgrades to the standard

laminate models will attract an even more diverse market and will make the product more viable to a greater number of retailers.

The flat-back, carved spruce to weather changes and will not crumble under the strain of traveling "stressesand maple model, called The C-1, responds to those customers who want a sophisticated arco sound in a portable package. These instruments will be attractive to teachers, schools, soloists, clinicians, and professionals who do not want to risk traveling with a full-sized carved string bass. The C-1 will travel

just as easily as the standard Czech-Ease, meaning that it will fall within most airlines' luggage size and weight limits and will save traveling customers a bundle, while not sacrificing the safety of their primary instruments.

The hybrid model, The H-1, mixes the sophistication of the carved top with the durability of laminated ribs and back. Arco players will love the graduated top's response, and pizzicatto players will love its sustain. Anyone who travels with The H-1 will love the strength offered by reinforced laminated ribs that do not react ."

And finally, the K-1 brings a louder, thicker acoustic sound to the bandstand, a sound more reminiscent of the plywood basses of old. As a result of a new lamination formula, the K-1 will impress anyone who tries it in the store and will continue to be reliable for

years and years. This bass can replace most full-sized plywood basses when played amplified or acoustically, raising the bar far above the rest of the abbreviated bass market. Music stores can rent this to clients who travel or who work nearby. Retailers

can package it with the travel trunk and present the best answer to traveling with a string bass.

With generous margins available, a reliable stock, a history of gold-standard dealer support, and a stable of enthusiastic and diverse professional endorsers, The Czech-Ease is poised to transform the string-bass world. Retailers who have not been able to justify

stocking a string bass because of its size or the disparate demands of its market now have an option that they can be confident in. New models will ship immediately for orders placed at the convention. Special introductory plans available for new dealers and

larger orders.
