First of all, it's a 100+€ product, so I knew that flaws could exist with such a price. There is scratch on the neckplate, the tone knob is unevenly big, and the fret and body was full of dust when I opened the package. But to be fair, the sound worth the price. It's totally capable for the practice and casual performances. As is mentioned by other people, the style of pickguard doesn't fit the black body, and if you want to replace it, there won't be too many options other than customizing. BTW: The delivery spent much more time than I expected, and the bass almost didn't make it before my first rehearsal (but I blame it for DHL). In conclusion, it is a good bass, but you need to prepare yourself with possible bad quality in manufacturing.
