This Thomann 22AS is a really solid entry point into the 5-string double bass world, especially for left-handed players. The 3/4 size makes it manageable for students or those who find full-size basses unwieldy, and the included Pirastro Flexocor strings provide a surprisingly warm and professional sound right out of the box. It’s a well-built instrument offering great value for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the satin finish highlights fingerprints and smudges more than gloss finishes, requiring more frequent cleaning to maintain appearance.
The shorter scale length makes it easier to reach notes and navigate the fingerboard, especially for smaller hands or beginners, but may slightly reduce string tension.
