GVC NICOLAS PAROLA VB5 BASS

The GVC Nicolas Parola VB5 Bass represents the height of traditional bass craftsmanship and tonal excellence. This fully hand-carved, all-solid wood instrument is built from select maple back, sides, and neck, paired with a spruce top that brings resonance and balance to every note.
