Great sounding instrument for the price!
Lex’s 11.02.2024
Given the pride I didn’t have great expectations but as soon as I received it I knew I had made the right choice. The bass looks amazing, the neck feels comfortable under my fingers and it offers a variety of tone options that sound really good!

Schönheit mit Basspfund
Askandyr 29.04.2024
Ich suchte etwas aktives im klassischen Stil. Top-Verarbeitung und Lackierung. Für mich die passende Saitenlage ein- und Hals etwas gerader gestellt. Perfekt. Mit dem Bass-Regler muss man vorsichtig sein, aber leichtes Anheben reicht um ein solides, warmes aber punchiges Basspfund zu bekommen. Mit den Mitten bekomme ich genau den Sound, den ich mag. Einmal eingestellt, klasse. Nuancen regle ich dann nur noch mit den Pick-Up Volume-Potis und der passiven Höhenblende. Der Bass hat den Jazz-Bass-Sound mit Eigenständigkeit, gefällt mir außerordentlich gut. Das hochglanzlackierte honigfarbene Griffbrett mit den cremefarbenen Pearl-Inlays ist ein Eye-Catcher. Die Kopfplatte ist mal was anderes, die Form ist klasse und eigenständig. Sie ist nicht nur einfach zweifarbig lackiert. Der untere Teil ist tiefer gefräst und dort ist das surf-green-Teil eingelegt. Das sieht sehr wertig aus. Ich würde ihn sofort wieder kaufen. Wem die Farbe zu krass ist (das grün ist real deutlich blasser) dem empfehle ich creme oder das langweilige schwarz :D. einzig negativer Punkt, der mich aber nicht stört. Sobald ein PU etwas leiser eingestellt ist, sind Einstreu-Geräusche zu vernehmen. Live ist das wurscht, denn so doll sind sie nicht. Für Aufnahmen nutze ich eh immer beide PU

Wow

Liegt super in der Hand und am Körper, Verarbeitung top, sehr überraschende Durchsetzungskraft, auch im Passivmodus. Ich habe den Kauf keine Sekunde bereut.

Disastrous
fpipita 06.08.2024
This bass has a good modern Jazz sound, but I decided to return it instantly because of the bad balance plus the feeling of unreliability coming from a really cheap/poor hardware.
This is the 3rd time in a couple months that I try the good luck buying this bass (because I like its sound) from a 3rd different store and my opinion unfortunately stayed always the same: I strongly discourage buying it.

Pros:

- Sound and electronics.
- Gig bag.

Cons:

- Tuners were terrible. 4 out of 5 were defective, B-D-G had some dead spots, A opposed excessive resistence. In general, they look fragile and the feeling is that they can break at any moment.
- Neck dive. My unit had a really bad balance, with a strong pull from the neck side.
- Body. Although the technical specifications say it is made of basswood, the accompaning card attached to my unit said it was made of alder. This was disappointing because in my opinion basswood or ash are the best woods to pair with '70 J pickups.
- Ahesthetics. The control knobs were made of black plastic, not like the silver ones you see in the pictures. In my personal opinion they didn't match with the surf green color at all.
- Neck. Although the technical specifications say it is a "comfort C" neck, in my opinion the profile was a standard C. Not as slim and comfortable as you might expect.
- Bridge. It aligns with the rest, the feeling is of a cheap, fragile piece of steel.
