The Andreas Eastman model 200 bass is beautifully hand-made from excellent quality seasoned tonewoods. It also features an attractive hand-applied amber-satin varnish. Its playability, tone, and appearance all raise expectations of a hefty price tag but this is one area where we are proud not to meet our customers’ expectations!

"I really never thought I would be buying a new bass after performing 40 years in the music business but this Eastman Bass really got me. I was really surprised by the depth, warmth, evenness, and the playing easibility of this 7/8 5 string. I'm only 5'2" in height and when I picked up this instrument and started to play it, it seemed like I had been playing it for years.
All I can say is if you play one, you will buy one.
Thank You Eastman Strings for making a beautiful sounding instrument with that old aged sound quality."
