General

Fazley's B-SB901 3/4-size double bass is affordable and easier to play than a full-sized model, which is why many musicians prefer it. Although it's a bit smaller and more manageable, it still produces a rich, warm sound, thanks to its two f-shaped sound holes. With this Fazley double bass, you'll be able to take your first steps into a whole new musical world.

A Complete Pack

One noteworthy detail is that the Fazley B-SB-901 comes with a practical gig bag that will keep your instrument safe, will help make it easier to carry thanks to the fitted, hard-wearing handles, and it even provides a handy accessory compartment for sheet music or a tuner. This excellent student instrument also comes including a bow and rosin. In short, this pack has everything you need to get started right away!

An interesting starter bass. Super cheap at around £470 even for a plywood bass. The finish is also fake, it looks printed closevup but pretty acceptable at distance.

It came boxed and with the bridge not fitted which did make me concerned about the sound post. However, all was well, there must be enough tension between the top and bottom to hold it.

I fitted the bridge in accordance with an online guide and inline with the f hole notches. I then lined up the strings. Slowly tuning up all the strings together to almost the correct pitch. Then a final tune to GDAE but twang,the G string broke near the tuner. This suggests there is too much resistance pulling through the nut guide. (I recommend using a soft pencil to put down some graphite on the groove first).
Once a replacement string was fitted, it's vlear that the bridge is way too large and this leaves the strings 10 to 14mm above the fingerboard, way too high. I have obtained a second bridge to modify, cheap from ebay to cut down to allow 7 to 10mm max clearance.
Overall its not too heavy, feels sturdy but does come with rubbish strings, it's better with some cheap ish replacements. Sounds like a double bass, at least more than an electric one and works well with claddic J tone pickups fitted to the bridge.
Overall 4 stars for the money, upgrade tge strings, have a good setup and it's good as a starter bass but you will probably want to upgrade it one day to at least a hybrid that looks better!

looks lovely but I found an annoying buzzing sound in the body when playing it so I'm just waiting for my replacement which hopefully will play better

Ongelofelijk dat er zo'n instrument gemaakt kan worden voor dit geld.
Prijs kwaliteit is dik in orde wat mij betreft. Prima contrabas om mee te beginnen. Upgraden kan altijd nog.
Snaren en actie af fabriek goed. Ik heb alleen een beetje met de positie van de kam gespeeld om de snaar hoogte aan te passen.

La contrebasse est esthétiquement correcte, cependant dés qu'il s'agit de jouer, c'est autre chose. La case luthier est indispensable pour baisser la hauteur de chevalet, tailler les pieds de chevalet pour un contact maximum. Après un changement de corde par des d'Addario Prélude et quelques semaines pour que la contrebasse s'assouplisse, ça va beaucoup mieux. Gros point noir, la touche n'étant pas en ébène mais dans un bois souple, elle s'est courbée ce qui entraine de la frise malgré une hauteur de corde de sol à 8mm. Donc il va falloir planifier la touche et refaire le vernis ! Pas top ! Une contrebasse intéressante pour débuter mais comme déjà mentionné case luthier obligatoire !!!

La livraison fut plus compliquée que prévue. pour un paquet de cette taille, pas étonnant !
J'avais besoin d'une deuxième basse pour les plans tout-terrain. Je ne m'attendais pas à des folies : rien qu'en voyant les photos du site on voit bien que le chevalet a été posé de travers. MAIS ! Pour le prix, je suis très agréablement surpris !

Mais attention : Débutants, ou ceux qui n'ont jamais eu de contrebasse avant ; livrée telle quelle un passage chez le luthier est INDISPENSABLE pour régler chevalet et sillet. En effet, la basse est brut de brut et elle est absolument injouable une fois déballée.
On a une basse au son très moyen et à l'ergonomie très ingrate, mais avec quelques heures dessus, une fois posées des bonnes cordes le chevalet taillé, on PEUT obtenir quelque chose d'exploitable. Mais c'est pas gagné !

Il faut absolument changer ses cordes qui sont très mauvaises ; de visu pour l'instant les cordes filées acier ne lui réussissent pas des masses, le son manque cruellement de graves... Mais je joue sur boyau et équivalent (boyau synthétique), et la rondeur du son des cordes à un bon rendu sur cette basse, quoique ça manque un peu de définition.

On a un reversement (angle d'inclinaison du manche) qui peut permettre une action relativement basse, mais la tension n'est pas extraordinaire.

Les finitions sont très approximatives... de loin ça va, de près ça ressemble à un objet une sorte de bibelot en camelote made in china !

Donc dans mon cas, moi qui cherchait un contrebasse d'appoint et qui n'avait absolument pas peur de mettre la main à la pâte et de la modifier , j'ai ce que je voulais. Mais je déconseille fortement ceux qui veulent commencer de l'acheter en éspérant avoir un instrument d'un claquement de doigt ! Case luthier indispensable.

In tegenstelling tot de Scarlatti bas in de winkel is deze bas wel goed gebouwd. De actie is alleen zo hoog en de snaren zo slecht (veel te stug), dat de bas eigenlijk onbespeelbaar is. Daarom heb ik telkens een paar milimeter van de brug afgevijld (in totaal circa 10 mm) en nieuwe uitsparingen voor de snaren gemaakt. Bovendien heb ik nieuwe snaren er op gelegd (Alice A1000). Dit zijn goedkope Chinese snaren (23 euro), maar klinken vele malen beter dan de originele (minder wollig) en zijn veel minder stug, waardoor er veel meer expressie mogelijk is. Voor een budgetbas helemaal niet zo slecht. Ik heb de bas in de winkel gekocht. Als je hem per post besteld, krijg je deze in doos en moet je zelf de brug rechtopzetten. Deze moet tussen de 2 binnenste strepen van de f-gaten staan, precies in het midden. Er zit een niets eens zo slechte gewatteerde hoes bij met vak voor brug (uiteraard kan bas ook met brug erop in hoes), vak voor strijkstok en vak aan achterkant voor boeken en zo. De strijkstok is niet eens slecht, alleen is de hars veel te hard en kun je beter een potje Pots of zo bestellen (al hebben ze die ook niet bij Bax).
