For those of you who have one or several: Are they single piece body or two piece body?

i played 6 30ths and 3 of them had a 2piece and 3 had a one piece body.

somehow the 2piece bodys seemed to have a little more punch.

if you are looking to the 30ths at station-music.de don't choose the 5kg one!!! it sounds like it don't want to be a bass! it restists to resonate. i played it when i bought my 30th in that store. mine is a 4,7kg "model" and they sounded best. i also played a 4,2kg they had in stock - and it sounded thin...

Interesting observation, I'd have expected the exact opposite!
Consider yourself lucky that you had the opportunity to choose them by playing!

I indeed was also looking at their offerings...
Are you by any chance near to Erfurt? Musikland seams to have a nice example...
