Double bass, double fun

There are many arguments in favour of laminated or semi-solid upright basses, but the fun REALLY starts when the bass is made from solid woods. A fair assumption has always been that, if it is below a certain price point, a bass of this kind must have come from China - but as its name suggests, the Thomann 44 3/4 Europe Double Bass proves that this does not have to be true. This bass combines the classic ingredients in true purist tradition: Spruce, maple, and ebony. And best of all, it is available at an astonishingly affordable price.

True to tradition

The Thomann 44 3/4 Europe Double Bass is constructed in the popular and widely-used 3/4 size and has a scale length of 105cm, which is slightly longer than usual and gives a little more openness to the low notes. It features a solid spruce top, while the back and sides are made from solid maple and the fingerboard from ebony. The headstock is adorned with two pairs of Tyrolean-style machine heads to ensure reliable tuning, and the bass comes strung with a set of Classic Line strings as standard. A setup at Thomann's stringed instrument workshop can also be carried out upon request.

Solid woods for a dynamic sound

Basses made from solid woods typically deliver a more dynamic and expressive sound, and thanks to its affordable price, the Thomann 44 3/4 Europe Double Bass makes these attributes available to both beginners and up-and-coming players in the fields of Classical, Pop, Jazz, and Folk music. At the same time, however, electric bass players who are thinking of taking up the upright bass as a second instrument should also take a closer look at this bass. Players can of course further optimise the sound of the bass by stringing it with the appropriate specialist strings for their respective musical style.

About Thomann string instruments

Thomann-brand instruments, which are exclusively built by renowned manufacturers, now constitute a large part of Thomann’s product range alongside numerous big-name brands. With unbeatable price-performance ratios, Thomann string instruments are the obvious first choice for students and beginners – and others too. The technical features and uncompromising sound quality they offer are usually reserved for much more expensive instruments found in the professional market segment.

Ideal for learning

The Thomann 44 3/4 Europe Double Bass is at home wherever an expressive tone is needed - including lessons, small orchestras, and Jazz clubs. However, the amateur sector still has its demands too, and this bass's comparatively low price makes it equally ideal for school orchestras, who can thus make the qualities of a solid-wood bass available to their students. Attention should be paid to the instrument's size, however, since a scale length of 105cm places it at the larger end of the "3/4" size category and thus requires a properly trained left hand.

Great ratio quality/price

Very good instrument for the price.
Excellent packaging.
Also excellent construction and materials.
It is essential to take it to a luthier for jazz setup and change of strings. 150¤ more, but not avoidable for a comfortable jazz playing

Macht einfach Spaß

Bin heilfroh, dass ich mir gleich einen massiven gekauft habe. Zunächst sieht der Bass ganz gut aus, und der gewölbte Rücken passt sich gut an den Körper an. Die Lackierung ist eher speckig als glänzend zu bezeichnen. Da gibt es bestimmt Besseres, aber damit kann ich leben.

Ich habe dem Bass sofort ein paar anständige Saiten spendiert (Tomasitk Infeld/ The Jazzer) und konnte dann bereits nach ein paar Stunden feststellen, wie dankbar sich das Instrument einspielen läßt.
Da ich nur zupfe habe ich die Saitenlage nochmal um 4mm herabgesetzt, was der Bass gut vertragen hat. Er wurde zwar ein kleines bisschen leiser, aber dafür ausgewogener. Natürlich hat ein so preiswerteer Bass auch einen kleinen Wolf, aber der ist sehr schwach und lässt sich leicht umspielen. In Zukunft werde ich ihm noch einen stabileren Stachel verpassen. Der Jetzige ist einfach zu labil, gibt den Ton nicht gut an den Boden weiter und absorbiert zu viel Schwingungen.

Das Preis/ Leistungsverhältnis halte ich jedoch für unschlagbar

Très belle et bonne contrebasse de qualité pour un prix défiant toute concurrence. Emballage carton impeccable fixé debout sur palette ,transporteur consciencieux ,le colis arrive sans problème. Cordes pré- montées, la mise en place du chevalet également de bonne qualité est facile grâce aux marquages. La contrebasse a un beau son et une bonne projection.
Les cordes sont un peu rudes mais on s'y fait ,à travailler... Il faut impérativement changer le caoutchouc du pic qui a une durée de vie de 24 h....bref pour le prix il ne faut pas pinailler :tout y est

Rapport qualité prix imbattable

J'avoue, je m'attendais à un instrument très moyen. Mais j'ai été surpris en bien.
Je ne l'ai pas encore démontée, donc pour juger la construction c'est trop tôt. Le seul problème que j'ai eu est une touche pas poncée dessous si bien que je me blessais les doigts en jouant en pizz. J'ai donc fini ça moi-même. J'ai aussi tout de suite changé les cordes.
