The Howard Core Academy Hybrid Bass is an exceptional choice for advancing students and developing performers who seek the tonal warmth of a carved instrument with the rugged reliability of a laminated build. Blending craftsmanship, durability, and responsive tone, this model stands out as a dependable step-up instrument for orchestral, jazz, and gigging musicians alike.

Crafted with a carved spruce top for rich tonal color and laminated maple back and sides for strength and stability, this hybrid design provides the best of both worlds. Its sound is warm, resonant, and focused — offering deep, clear lows and smooth upper registers with impressive projection. A natural varnish finish showcases the elegant wood grain, highlighting the instrument’s refined construction.

Equipped with a smooth ebony fingerboard, nut, and saddle, as well as precision-machined tuning machines and a maple bridge with height-adjusting wheels, the Core Academy Hybrid Bass ensures superior playability and lasting performance. Designed for both dependability and expressiveness, it’s a superb upgrade for players ready to grow musically with an instrument that performs consistently under all conditions.
