Have had this bass for a week. Impressed by the quality for this price. There were however two small issues out of the box; a small scratch on the back of the neck and one fret was a little high. However, this was easy for me to fix, one wipe with a fine grip sandpaper and the scratch was gone. I leveled the high fret as well, without any issues. Now I can get super low string action, if I want that. Neck pocket is tight, neck shape is comfortable, the pickups sounds decent. Will sound good enough for recordings and gigs. Naturally this bass is a bit neck heavy, so swapping out the tuners is an option if that´s bothersome. Each tuner weigh 64 grams, so replacing them to Gotoh GB350 will cut the weight on the head in half. Only issue is that they´re not sold in this configuration, 4L+2R, and Thomann only sells right side tuners seperatly. However, if they start selling left side tuners, then it would be easy to order a 3R+2L set and add the extra left side tuner. Other than that, this is a serious instrument with a really nice price tag.
