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. The version shown here comes in an appealing antique-look finish, and 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.
