Finishes: Epoch Instruments use the latest hi-tech, durable two-pack finish. The DP double bass has a total matching full gloss finish

Colours

Traditional
Pearl: White, Yellow, Calypso Blue, Burnt Orange, Black and Red

Electronics

In addition to its acoustic qualities the on-board electronic features give the DP3 the versatility of a purpose-built electric double bass without the vagaries often associated with aftermarket systems, or the lack of character associated with solid and semi acoustic electric double basses. The quality of this pickup system has been particularly noted when the instrument is bowed – an area where most other systems tend to fail.

  2. An exclusive, hand built preamp, featuring an LED power indicator and provision to power a microphone
  3. 9V battery power supply with ready access (bottom, to the player’s right)
