This bass arrived in great condition from Germany. It traveled from Germany to South Texas, United States, in three days. That was very impressive.
Love the bass, the look, feel and sound.
I would normally have given all 5 stars, except for two small problems.
First. The coil split feature is very confusing. It's not the coil split feature where you pull a tone knob, or move a switch. Instead they opted for a pot. Still trying to figure it out, but haven't yet.
Second. This bass guitar is a left handed bass, but the volume pot is wired for a right handed player. So, as a left handed person, I have to rotate the knob as if I am lowering the volume, instead of raising it.
Both of these issues are annoying, but they are not deal breakers.
Still very happy with my purchase, and my order in gerneral.
Even though, we here in the United States have to pay almost as much for shipping as we do for the instrument, these instruments are very much worth what we are paying. We are not getting as good a deal as the people in Europe, but now we, to a lesser degree, know what it was like for people in Europe who wanted an American made guitar.
Over all, great sounding and playing instrument. I will definitely be back.
