Question Strunal 50/4 or Cremona 50/1

Hello,
I started playing the double bass at the end of last year and now I want to buy my "first new istrument". Does anyone have experience with these models: Strunal 50/4 or Cremona 50/1. Essentially for Rockabilly slapping. So far I used old wooden instrument but that breaks down soon.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Sven

I know Strunal makes both a 50/4 and a 50/1. Difference being Ebony fingerboard and tailpiece on the 50/4 vs black dyed hardwood on 50/1. I have a 50/4 and love it.

The Strunal is a good solid instrument and is recommended, the Cremona is neither!
