The BCT Double Bass from Thomann features a unique chessboard pattern strip on an elegant black background. This instrument is a fitting choice for playing a wide range of genres including jazz, rock and roll, blues, and rockabilly. The lamination on the top imparts a high degree of rigidity to the overall construction. The arched laminated maple back helps attenuate overtones from the top, thus providing smooth and well-rounded tones. The ebony fretboard provides a crisp attack and helps elongate sustain. Owing to the adjustable end pin, you obtain a comfortable playing experience.
