  2. Thanks all for your comments. I've decided to keep the bass and forget about the thomann. I do enjoy this bass but not having played DB very long I was curious about the ebony board and half carved of the thomann, thanks all.
  3. Thanks for the last replies. Yeah on the Ken Smith site I see it says its all ply though still unsure if its a rosewood fingerboard, even though there's only small areas of the peeling black lacquer (ebonized I assume) I'm wondering whether to get it stripped off down to the wood, anyone had experience of this such as possible effects on changes to tone and feel of the board, ta.
  4. Hi bassace, yeah I think your right, thanks. If anyone knows a bit more about the 400 as there's little info out there, ta.
  5. [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Hi, I posted a while ago under a different username (forgot my password and email password) about the Thomann 22 double bass. I didn’t buy this bass but I did get hold of a Czech 1980s Boosey and Hawkes 400. I got an adjustable bridge fitted with a full circle pickup and silver slaps. Does anyone have any info on this bass, is it all laminate and is it an Ebony fingerboard (it’s a bevelled fingerboard). There is a small amount of peeling of the coating on the fingerboard (I’m guessing its rosewood that’s been ebonized). [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]I’m still thinking about the Thomann 22 (carved top) bass as I’ve heard so many good things about it but unsure how much [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]of an upgrade it will be, but having read comments about how it compares to basses 3 times the cost it get you thinking[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Any info on the boosey much appreciated[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Thanks, Sean.[/color][/size][/font]
