Harley Benton GS-Travel-E Bass Spruce

So ... The bass is great, amazing to play at the price point, great finish, set up well, hardware all good .... BUT! ... When you plug it in there is something obviously wrong with the pick up ... the low E string is MUCH quieter than the A and D while the G is somewhere in the middle, volume wise ... What a shame! but, for me, I wanted it for practice so all ok ... the tone of the pick up system is really nice ... not cheap sounding but the different volumes is just unlivable with ... I stuck it through a TC spectracomp pedal .. it helped a bit ... ... For the price, even with the problem .. it's no brainer ... neck is lovely ... I thought the strap button placement was going to be an issue ... but not for me .. i like it ... on board tuner is a bit counter intuitive to begin with ... but then the penny drops ... Fix the pick up and it will be AWESOME ... hope this helps .... oh .. it's active btw .. 9v batt near the input jack ... thanks
