Easy Playability, Robust Sound -  3/4 size Bjorn Stoll Dresden Model

This is an unusual Bjorn Stoll Dresden™ Model Bass.  It’s actually a ¾ size bass, unlike most of the 7/8 size Dresden Basses we usually have in stock.  Because of its smaller size, this bass is one of the easiest to get around on in the entire shop. Look at the rear view to see how the neck is perched high upon very sloping shoulders. This allows easy access to the upper-most registers. Both the top and the back of the instrument are very highly vaulted. It's dark, responsive, and very even; must be played to be believed.  SPL: 40.5”

Bjorn Stoll Heidelberg™ is a Gamba Form bass, hand-made in Germany. You will find Easy Arco Access from the sloped shoulders, the enlarged C-bout, and use of a taller bridge.  The nicely swelled back & sides add extra capacity in the body, creating plenty of volume and projection for orchestra play.  We have the top carved to Lemur Specs and a special sizing on the bass bar which releases very good fundamental on the low strings. Back and sides are poplar, the top is spruce.  We order Bjorn Stoll basses in a rich, dark red-brown finish that is hand rubbed to a glossy luster.  Heidelberg is available in 3-4 size for advancing players as well as large 7/8 size which really has the power to anchor a section.  SPL:41.5"  

Heidelberg™ Bass in 7/8 size is an excellent candidate for an Extension Machine.  Her size and strength will easily accommodate the extra tension of the machine, and produce the deep fundamentals you need on the Long Fourth String.

The ONYX Double Bass Wheel is fabricated from all stainless steel and polished to a beautiful, long-lasting shine. The 6" tire is made from resilient foam rubber with a tough outer skin designed to cushion the ride of your bass - and it will not leak.  Weight 1.2 lbs.   Made exclusively in the USA for Lemur Music by ONYX Musical Products.

The Bass Wheel Shank fits into the endpin-rod socket when you have removed the adjustable height rod.   Available in 6 sizes to fit most endpin rods.  To measure your endpin socket:  Lay the bass on its side, remove the endpin rod, measure the diameter of the socket with a metal ruler or tape. 

 Available Sizes:

·        A2454--  8mm or 5/16”.  It’s about the same size as a yellow #2 pencil.

·        A2454--  10mm or 3/8”.  Works perfectly with the ONYX or Goetz 10mm endpin.

·        A2454--  12mm.  Fits the medium sized Chinese endpins. 

·        A2454-- ½”. Measure carefully – ½” is smaller than 5/8”

·        A2454-- 5/8."  The 5/8" size is slightly larger than ½" and fits hollow rod tube endpins.

·        A1155-- 9/16". Fits the large Chinese endpins.  It’s larger than ½”.

Also Available:

·        Replacement Tire (A1156).  Your tire will last for years before it starts to show wear.  Ice and Snow conditions will degrade your tire faster.  If your tire becomes worn on one side more than the other, take the tire off and rotate to the other side.  We encourage you to repair and reuse. However... when you need a new tire, we have them in stock.

·        Replacement Shank (A2155).  The ONYX engraved caster frame & tire is universal to fit all 6 sizes ONYX Wheels.  If you have more than one bass with different size (diameter) endpin rods, you can interchange a different size “shank” with the same caster frame and tire.  Replacement shanks bolt into the caster frame with household tools, so you can change your wheel “size” easily and economically.
