This is exactly what i was looking for! I wanted something cheap that doesn't demand extra investments or care, something i can work on at home, strength and intonation exercises mainly.
It came safely packed, quick DIY instalation was easy, the only complaint is the E string could be a bit higher compared to the other strings, but that's been settled with a mixed set of strings. The fretboard is flawless, the neck is chunky, which is good for my exercises, the tuners work, i don't know what else to add except THANKS THOMANN!
Oh, by the way, don't expect a master instrument, this is a ply wood bass and it sounds and looks accordingly. I've had all sorts of basses in my 20 years of playing and teaching, old and new, cheap and expensive, currently also 2 master luthier products. But, if you think this bass is not balanced you might want to give in some extra hours on it, it just might be down to sloppy hands and fingers...
No comment on the bow and the bag.. but to be honest they do their job as well.
All in all... highly recommended if you know what you're after.
edit december 2020: the tip of the bow broke off, waiting for a replacement bow
edit Oct21: changed the bridge and put on a set of Belcanto's, absolutely great value for money gigging bass.
