Shen began with a solo French pattern as a starting point, and designed in a fuller bottom end response. The result is a bass that is very easy to move around on. It has a sweet solo voice, with power to hold its own in a section. It bows beautifully, with a lot of depth in pizzicato. It is a true bass for all occasions.
Rabbath style players will appreciate the easy shoulders, neck overstand and neck angle geared toward the method.
