Selling a beautiful, rare Samick Artist Series HFB-590 semi-acoustic thin-line hollowbody bass.This is a true 34" full-scale hollowbody built in Korea during the golden era of Samick manufacturing. It has been professionally converted to a fretless bass with clean, flush fret line inlays. The conversion is a top-quality job—the fingerboard is perfectly smooth, the side binding is completely intact, and the setup allows for incredibly low, smooth action with that classic fretless singing quality.Key Features & Specs:Body: All-maple thin-line hollowbody with dual classic F-holes. Excellent natural acoustic resonance.Neck: Smooth, unsealed natural rosewood fingerboard with perfectly flush wood fretline markers for precise intonation.Electronics: Active on-board preamp with 3-band EQ, powered by an under-saddle piezo pickup that captures the true woody vibration of the acoustic chamber.Strings: Currently setup and strung with premium flatwound strings to protect the bare rosewood and deliver an incredible "upright bass" style thud.Case Included: Comes with a premium, heavy-duty Kaces III padded soft case/gig bag. It features dense protective foam padding, reinforced stitching, a heavy-duty side carry handle, and a spacious exterior accessory pocket. It fits the unique dimensions of this hollow body bass perfectly.This combination of a hollow acoustic chamber, piezo pickup, and flatwound strings creates an amazing, warm tone that mimics a high-end double bass. It is completely turn-key and ready for jazz, folk, acoustic projects, or studio tracking.Condition: Excellent, clean condition. All electronics, knobs, and the preamp function perfectly.
I bought her at a music store in 1998. I'm the only owner. I commissioned the fretless customization with an experienced luthier.
Meet me somewhere in Taos, Ranchos, or El Prado if you want to see, hear, and buy her.
Cash only, no trades, or crypto.
Thanks!
