Howard Core Select 400 Series Fiberglass Bass Bow

Core Select 400 Series Bass Bow — French/German Model 

The Core Select 400 Series Bass Bow is a budget-friendly option crafted from a brown fiberglass weave stick, offering a lightweight, low-maintenance alternative for beginning bassists. The fiberglass construction provides good durability and resistance to warping, making it a practical choice for young players and school rental programs where cost and resilience matter most. The bow features a full-lined ebony frog with eye and is available in both French and German grip styles to suit player preference.

Tonally, the fiberglass weave stick offers a lighter, more flexible feel than carbon fiber or graphite bows, providing enough control for beginners to develop basic bow hold and simple string crossings. While it won't offer the same projection or depth as higher-tier bows, it delivers a functional, playable tone suited to early learning stages on the bass's lower range.

Ideal for first-time students, rental programs, and budget-conscious buyers, the Core Select 400 Series provides an accessible entry point into bass bowing. The thread and wire grip offers a comfortable, secure hold to support proper hand position from the start.
