For over 50 years, Takamine's luthiers have worked with artists from all over the world. Thanks to these encounters and this experience, they have been able to craft a series of basses of breathtaking quality!
With the DB10, Takamine has created a hybrid bass guitar that combines the advantages of both the bass guitar and the double bass. This instrument features a classic 34" neck length but with the radius of a double bass, allowing you to play with a bow. Furthermore, you can play this bass in the traditional style or like a double bass thanks to the endpin that can be deployed for stability in a vertical position. This fretless instrument produces a round, full sound with exceptionally rich harmonics. Ultimately, it delivers everything you would expect from a classic double bass.
Before beginning the manufacturing process, the Takamine R&D team analyzes musicians' needs. The DB10 features a Palathetic pickup, created by the Takamine R&D team and renowned as an electro-acoustic model with a natural and precise sound. equipped with the high-end CT4-DX pickup, this hybrid bass will offer you a very wide tonal palette.
