A wonderful instrument!

First, Thomann handled the order very well and I received the bass in just a few days. The bass is top-quality, beautifully finished (as a relic finish). Most importantly, it plays beautifully. Very happy.

Très bon instrument
niddejay 08.05.2021
Je joue cette VB '63 exclusivement en home studio, au médiator et au pouce via un preamp / boîte de DI branché dans une interface audionumérique (compositions personnelles).
Les + :
- sans défaut apparent (lutherie, accastillage, électronique) et correctement réglée (chevalet flottant, attention),
- très beau sunburst tirant à la lumière vers une tonalité légèrement orangée (mais pas aussi marquée que sur les photos promotionnelles),
- reliquage beaucoup plus léger que sur les photos promotionnelles (en particulier pas de gros scratches au niveau du pickguard et de la ceinture),
- incroyablement légère (et c'est heureux lorsqu'on a goûté comme moi de la Fender Precision !) sans donner pour autant une impression de fragilité excessive,
- montée d'origine en filets plats (sonorités caractéristiques d'une 500/1 directement accessibles),
- pas de hum (les micros sont des humbuckers)
- les mécaniques tiennent bien l'accordage.
Les - :
- l'absence de repères sur le côté de la touche,
- le prix, excessif d'au moins 500 € par comparaison avec d'autres instruments de série limitée ou issus d'un custom shop (effet McCartney !).
Bref, un instrument de très bonne facture qui me convient et me donne envie d'essayer les productions Höfner en version 6 cordes, particulièrement les Verythin.
