This Thomann Rockabilly is a fantastic entry point for rockabilly, blues, and country players on a budget. The basswood construction gives it a warm, woody tone that's perfect for that upright feel, and the German setup means it's ready to gig. It's a solid performer and a great value for the money.

*Dear Customer:*

All acoustic double basses are adjusted and set up individually in our workshop for the desired playing situation/style (jazz, classical, rockabilly, ...).

We ask for your understanding that shipping will be delayed by approximately two to three days due to the work on finishing and setting up. Double basses are delivered by freight carrier.

PROS

  • • Ebony fingerboard provides a smooth playing experience and good note definition.
  • • German workshop setup ensures a playable instrument right out of the box, a real bonus.
  • • White finish with black border offers a unique, stage-ready aesthetic.
CONS
  • • Basswood construction limits the high-end clarity and projection of more premium woods.
  • • 3/4 size might be restrictive for taller players or those accustomed to full-size basses.
  • • Included composite bow is functional, but a significant upgrade would be beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions

The white finish is fairly opaque, but lighter scratches can still be visible. Careful handling and a good polish will help maintain its appearance.
The workshop typically sets the action at a medium-low height suitable for rockabilly playing, and the endpin allows for easy adjustment to accommodate different playing styles and string gauges.
While not as responsive as a solid wood bass, the laminated construction still provides a respectable pizzicato sound, though it may lack some of the sustain and complexity.
