I've been debating for months now on which bass to get. I primarily play in my bedroom, recording my own stuff. But I did want a bass that I can confidently bring on stage with me. So after looking at multiple offerings I settled on this.
This bass looks amazing, it really has that vintage feel to it. I was amazed by the build quality and setup out of the box, screws are all put in properly not at an angle, the tuners, pickups and the bridge all feel nice and solid, everything just feels properly put together.
The action from is nice and low (although this is up to personal preference), the intonation is spot on, the fret board is pretty although not as dark as normal rosewood. Neck feels amazing, it has a beautiful vintage tint, it is not satin which I love (actually none of my guitars have a sating neck). Frets are nice and shiny so no polishing required. I really see no reason to take this to my local guitar shop for a set-up.
Sound wise, you have to really try it in person, and it depends tremendously on the amp you use. The tone/volume knobs to my surprise actually have a nice linear control, no sudden changes.
Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and Thomann service was great as usual. If you like the look of this bass I would definitely recommend it!
