Underbar bas !

Bertil Broddéus 25.08.2023

Bästa jazzbasen för pengarna ! I perfekt skick när den kom ! Behövde inte justera en mm .
Och ja den är värd uppgraderingskostnaden mot V7 ( som jag också har ) 70 tals placeringen av stallmicken är kanon !
Du får betala dubbla priset av andra märken för att få en sådan jazzbas ! Inget hum från mickarna heller 👍😀

Volle Punktzahl!

Pete Horse 26.01.2026

Soviel vorweg: Der Bass ist fantastisch!
Exzellente Verarbeitung und ein hochwertiges Finish; insbesondere der Hals ist äußerst geschmeidig und bietet ein sehr angenehmes Handling, auch in höheren Lagen. Das Halsprofil wirkt keineswegs aufdringlich und lässt sich leicht bespielen.
Die Saitenlage war ab Werk perfekt eingestellt – insbesondere die H‑Saite – und nach einer kleinen Korrektur auch bundrein. Der massive Steg und die Mechaniken sind äußerst solide. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die fein abgerichteten Bünde.
Klanglich zeigt sich der Bass sehr vielseitig, sowohl aktiv als auch passiv. Es braucht etwas Zeit, um die für einen selbst passenden Einstellungen zu finden, doch diese Mühe lohnt sich.
Der im Preis enthaltene Gigbag sieht schick aus, ist ausreichend gepolstert und wirkt insgesamt sehr wertig.
Wer den Umstieg von einem 4‑Saiter‑Longscale auf einen 5‑Saiter-Longscale wagt, ist mit diesem Bass absolut auf der sicheren Seite. Freude herrscht!
Letztendlich noch ein Dank an das Thomann‑Team für den schnellen und sicheren Transport!
