Lemur Music Carbon Fiber Bass Bow  French Model
Lemur Music Carbon Fiber Bass Bow French Model

Carbon Fiber Bows are usually considered an upgrade from Fiberglass Bows because the carbon fiber material can be manufactured to perform more like a wooden stick.  (The wooden bow has both flexibility and strength down the length of the stick.)   We can better control where flexibility is needed --along the curve of the stick- using the components that make Carbon Fiber.   Balance, too, can be better controlled by altering the weight of the material along the length of the stick, especially near the tip.

These Entry Level Lemur Sunrise Carbon Fiber Bass Bows use good quality, well-fitted ebony frogs, Mongolian horsehair, and exhibit carefully executed moldings of the stick.   Silk thread windings and nickel silver mountings complete the bows.   We offer them in three sizes from 1/4 to 4/4.

Lemur Music Laminated Bass Jupiter ASD 7/8 Size
Lemur Music Laminated Bass Jupiter ASD 7/8 Size

SORRY -- WE ARE SOLD OUT. Next Availability 2021.

Jupiter™ Bass was designed by Lemur with one purpose in mind: to create the loudest, punchiest, Most Affordable bass ever. 

The shape started with classic American lines - gamba corners with the back bending forward to make the body thickness at the heel of the neck only 6 inches. The neck is slender and easy to handle. We also designed the string length to be only 41 5/8 inches, a comfortable relief from other big-sounding basses with string lengths over 43 inches. After that, the smallness ends. The bridge is tall to create leverage over the sound board. The upper and lower bouts were enlarged to maximize the volume, depth, and projection of the sound. And what a sound it is!! Enough to be on a Bluegrass stage with nothing but a mic. Enough to play trio club gigs without an amp.

ONYX  Bass Wheel
ONYX Bass Wheel

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.
