The Thomann 50`s Diner SWB 3/4 Double Bass is an affordable yet powerful bass instrument with a distinctive tonal output. The veneered body produces a rich tonal output. The bright sound properties of the ebony fretboard provide sharp highs and a strong upper midrange. It is a perfect instrument for orchestral students who want an acoustic tone for some songs, or during jam sessions and rehearsals. The double bass can be played sitting down with the adjustable spike, but it is more commonly played standing up. This double bass includes a gigbag and composite-bow. The double bass has a ¾ scale. It is reliable, presentable, intonates well and sounds good.
