The GEWA "Pure" Range: Workshop Spirit Serving Musicians
The GEWA Pure series brings together acoustic double basses designed to offer an excellent balance between reliability, traditional finishes, and workshop preparation. Each instrument is play-ready in the GEWA workshop in Germany, aiming to provide a double bass ready to support a serious learning path or regular practice, while maintaining a classic aesthetic and performance-oriented construction.
Who Is the GEWA Pure 3/4 Double Bass For?
In 3/4 size, this double bass corresponds to the most common standard: it suits the majority of teenage and adult double bass players. It is especially aimed at beginner to intermediate musicians seeking a stable instrument that feels comfortable under the fingers and can cover a wide repertoire. Its versatility makes it suitable for classical music (orchestra, conservatory), jazz (walking bass, pizzicato), and acoustic practices where presence and articulation are essential.
Sound Characteristics
The tonal personality of this GEWA Pure relies on a coherent choice of woods for an acoustic double bass. The solid spruce top plays a central role: it transmits most of the vibrations and directly contributes to projection, attack clarity, and the instrument's sensitivity to nuances, especially with the bow. The arched back made of flamed veneered wood, combined with the ribs also in flamed veneered wood, contributes to a more consistent response and a robust daily structure, while preserving a traditional "flamed" aesthetic. The ebony fingerboard, dense and durable, promotes a precise playing feel and good note readability, particularly useful for intonation and articulation work.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This double bass is delivered without a gig bag or case and without a bow. To ensure perfect compatibility (dimensions, attachment systems, tension preferences), it is recommended to choose these accessories with your teacher or luthier, based on your physique, playing style (pizzicato/bow), and transport needs.

anchor fixing screw (string adjustment plate) broken in the volute. The other screws barely tightened. Not to mention a good scratch on the soundboard and various chips of varnish probably caused by shocks. very disappointed with this instrument.Lack of seriousness on the part of the manufacturer. I am seriously thinking of going to the competition.
Musically.
