Thomann Rockabilly Double Bass WH

Blues, Rock & Roll, and Rockabilly bass players are known for their eyecatching stage antics - including slap-bass techniques, spinning the instrument around, and some very acrobatic shape-throwing - which can prove to be too much for upright basses that are constructed and set up in the conventional manner. Enter the Thomann Rockabilly Double Bass: This instrument features a sufficiently stable construction to allow it to stand up to the rough-and-tumble of Rock & Roll shows and comes properly set up with the right strings for the job. Equally important considering the musical application for which it is intended is that this bass features a cool all-white finish, a world away from the rather staid image of classical double basses.

The Thomann Rockabilly Double Bass has a look that will make players want to get out and perform right away, and it will be at home wherever looking great is as important as sounding great - whether it's on stage, in the street, or in the park. As mentioned above, its laminated construction makes this bass particularly resistant to wind, moisture, and sun (not to mention high-heeled shoes). Of course, the Rockabilly Bass is also an excellent choice for players just starting out on the instrument, and these players should be sure to request a low string action when ordering the bass to make those first notes as easy to play as possible. Needless to say, finding a good teacher will also be extremely helpful!
