I'm not a bass player but I needed a bass to record my tracks, I saw this one at Thomann's site and honestly, I didn't like it at all by the pictures, specially the headstock... but than, I went looking for some review videos and I slowly began to like the shape. After a couple videos I just fell in love. I buy one for my self and than I buy another one to offer to a really bass player who wanted to try a 5 string bass.
It´s my first and only bass, I like it a lot, specially the wide range of sounds it offers, due to the active/passive pick ups option. The action came very high and the second string with a litlle buzz fret, problem solved with some adjustements.
The other one that I offer to my cousin took a normal set up and after the job done the feed back was this: After changing the strings to a D'addario EXP170-5, 045-130, lowing the action to a more confortable scale and fix the harmonics and intonation it became a bass as good as an expensive one. Overhaull was spent 211€ including the 155€ of the bass......
