I'm not a full-time bassist but I needed a nice instrument to compose on and to bring at Jam sessions, etc.
This bass sounds great, very well finished, and seems to be quite sturdy! It is honestly quite impressive for the price.
I have to say that I had to return the first bass I've received (without any question from Thomann) because the black binding on the neck was scratched. The second bass (I kept!) has still some marks by very minor. But can we expect a 100% perfect finish at that price?
I believe the action is a bit high. Most bassists I know have recommended me this instrument saying that "after a few adjustments, it's a killer deal!"
So in short: sounds good, looks amazing, 95% perfect finish. Playability will be top notch after a quick adjustment
