Awsome for the price
Being a solid doublebass Im amazed with the sound you can get from it. I had the luck of living inm the city of one of the best doublebass luthiers. I must warn the new buyers that the bass came from factory still needs adjustments from a luthier to make it as comfortable as he can for your style of playing.Once that is done the instrument will sound amazing, perfect for begginers and intermidiates. I'm not a pro player so I wouldnt tell the difference with a 5000 + instruments, I jsut know this bass sounds superb!

Beware!
This may be a 'fully carved' bass, but be advised it is not a very well carved bass. When I tried to amplify it (using piezo pickups of various makes) it immediately erupted into non-stop uncontrollable high-mid feedback.
I'm guessing the wood was carved by craftsmen and glued together by carpenters.
After several nightmare gigs I took it to a luthier who replaced the soundpost (It had the wrong guage post, in the wrong place!!!) and this helped a little with the feedback, but all-in-all this bass is still a lemon. Do yourself a favour and spend the extra ¤400 on a semi solid Czech bass. Buy one of these things only if you intend learning to play, on your own, quietly in your home. Otherwise avoid!

Thomann 33 3/4 Europe Double Bass!
The Thomann 33 3/4 Europe Double Bass is an instrument of robust construction fully carved. Simply adjust the easel as, replacing the ropes and have a good and reliable work partner for many years. I took the maximum potential of the instrument from a luthier Gabor Bolba . The sound of this instrument is brilliant, either with bow or pizzicato. It is a very good tool for the job due to his bow Harmonic top head be built in spruce, however is a hybrid instrument due to its round sound of pizzicato, has an excellent attack due to its harmonic bottom head to be right, has also a good sustain. The relationship between quality and price is very good. I am very pleased and highly recommend!

Excellent quality and economical!
I was surprised. The quality of the construction and the sound are both very good. I am happy that I found this bass. I would definitely recommend it to others. I had it set up by a professional when it arrived.

My first double bass
I carefully seeked my first double bass and I decided to take 33 because it is fully carved solid wood. And I was lucky as this shows to be great bass. Has a nice tone and you can feel that the wood is "alive" and not "dead" like plywood basses. I expect this bass to play even better with time. The strings which are on it are classic strings from Thomann and although some black color comes out and stays on the fingers, strings are quite good. All to all, without any upgrades needed, this is a very good instrument especially for the begginer such as I am.

Great for the price
For the price, for being a full solid bass it is great. It needs a bit of a setup, the fingerboard is not the best quality, it needed some fixing, also the bridge needed a bit of a fix for height and curvature, i also changed the strings for spirocore solos, the ones that comes with the bass are quite crappy. But overall I am very happy with it. Now, after a feel months of playing I feel the sound is opening up, and is very nice.
