After many years of hesitation, I finally
bought a five string double bass.
It should have been natural because
I played five string (and six stringer) electrics for many years, but a double bass is something else.

Simply put, my Ernst H Roth sounds
fantastic all over.
It is a huge bass with a dark and strong deep sound.
The vibrating string length is 110 cm.

My Bassot with c-extension is still my favourite but the Roth will be
orchestral bass no 1.

I have used the Sonores 2011 and 2012 for some time and I must say that
the feel and sound is fantastic.

Then, when I put on the Genssler sonophil tailpiece wires, the sound ”matured”
even more.

Kudos signor Genssler!!
