Good but could have been better
I got this as I was looking for a pbass for gigs but wanted something a little different than a normal precision bass. Let's start with the positive points: it is an amazing looking bass, great sound from the Seymour Duncan pick up and a nice curved body with a Warwick adjust a nut and supplied with a Warwick Rockbag. Has the option to register for an extended warranty. Set up was good, action was fine and the bass was well set up from the factory to be fair. Strings were good too. Now, for the negatives: This bass came with a neck pocket way too big for the neck. Cosmetic issue only, seems to play fine so far, but not good enough on a €990 instrument. Also, the bolts holes for the neck on the back were really badly drilled and chipped around the rim where the bolts go in to the neck. There are two strips of rosewood or similar running down the back of the 5 piece neck and one of these is quite high/swelled around the 12-15 frets. I found a tiny shard of metal on the pick up also. My thoughts on this bass: Nice bass but not good enough quality control for what is pretty much a €1K bass. To be fair, I want to make it totally clear this is a factory quality control issue and I must compliment Thomann customer care as they were really excellent. It is an average instrument at best due to these quality control issues and though a great looking, sounding and playing bass, it was let down by this poor quality control from the factory. For this reason it rates average. Overall, I am happy with it, if a little underwhelmed.
