I love it!

TheGreenDino 12.08.2023

I heard that Marcus Miller basses have exceptionally good value for money, but I have to admit that I was still quite impressed by the build quality. The roasted maple neck looks beautiful and feels very nice. The sound is punchy, and clear, with deep bass and enough details. The preamp with the option of choosing the midrange frequency does a great job of shaping the sound (better than my Fender PlayerPlus, in my ears). I changed the strings to La Bella 760N-B as I am into Tapewounds these days and love the combination.

I found a minor (and rarely occurring) grounding issue that I figured was caused due to the pots not having a wide enough nut underneath to properly grab the metal sheet under the pickguard. I decided to fix it myself as I value Thoman and their service too much to cause a return and/or repair process on them for such a thing (and it was easy). On the other hand, opening the pickguard showed me what a clean and tidy job they did under the hood.

Right now, it's my favorite bass among the seven basses I own.

Guter E-Bass, Preis-Leistungs-Sieger.

mmos 18.08.2024

Habe mir vor kurzem den P8 zugelegt und bin wirklich positiv überrascht. Für diesen Preis bekommt man ein bereits hochwertiges Instrument für überschaubares Budget.

Der Klang ist Top, und durch die ,,gemischten" (P- u. J-) Tonabnehmer ist man sehr vielfältig unterwegs.

Einziger Kritikpunkt ist der Volume-bzw. Tonabnehmer-Regler. Die beiden Regler sind übereinander angeordnet und haben eine kleine Überlappung. Da der Volume-Regler nicht vollkommen zentriert montiert war, hat man beim Verstellen gleichzeitig auch den Tonabnehmer-Regler verstellt.

War einigermaßen schnell zu beheben, allerdings bei einem Instrument wie diesem (trotz günstigem Preis) ein No-Go. (Deshalb nur 3 Sterne für die Verarbeitung, die restliche Verarbeitung ist allerdings top.)

Insgesamt nach Beheben des Regler-Problems ein wirklich guter Bass.
