How to choose

Decide between an acoustic outfit for traditional tone and an electric upright for portability and amplified playing.

Beginner

A student typically starts on an acoustic 3/4 outfit like the Sandner Double Bass 3/4 Outfit or Max Bruch Double Bass 3/4 Outfit, a manageable size for most teenage and adult beginners. Use an endpin stop to keep the bass from sliding, and rosin the bow before each session.

Intermediate

Players wanting more flexibility look at the Kinglos GK-009 3/4 Acoustic Double Bass for its balance of tone and playability, or begin exploring an electric upright for practice without disturbing neighbours. Compare string height and neck feel between models before committing.

Expert

Gigging bassists often choose the NS Design WAV4 or WAV5 Electric Upright Bass, or the Ibanez UB805 5-string, for their compact size and stage-ready amplification. Keep a backup cable and check pickup connections before shows, since electric uprights depend entirely on their electronics for sound.

About Double Bass

A double bass anchors the low end in orchestral, jazz and folk settings, available as a full acoustic outfit or a compact electric upright for easier transport. Electric models suit touring players who need less bulk.

This page brings together double basses from NS Design, Kinglos, Ibanez, Max Bruch and Sandner, from traditional 3/4 acoustic outfits to 4 and 5-string electric uprights.
