The Thomann 11 1/2 Europe Double Bass serves as your ideal companion if you are part of an ensemble of jazz or country music. It features an ebony fretboard, which provides a crisp attack. This tonewood variety helps elongate sustain. The arched laminated maple back produces bright tones with tight lows. Maple is widely preferred for its resistance to environmental changes. The Tyrolean-style machine heads add a vintage vibe to this instrument. The laminated top imparts a high degree of rigidity to the overall construction in addition to enhancing definition and clarity. The lamination also plays an important role in reducing feedback.
