It's pretty and bright

Tbjcp 09.12.2025

First off - damn that colour is NICE.
They included a couple of tools for trust rod adjustments and a cheap cable. Cables are always handy, and it might need the tools - i do need to adjust the trust rod.
Couple of ultra minor cosmetic flaws, but then some other things like the frets are really nice - really really nice. Tuners feel very solid, and tgey are very smoothe. The tone is okay, but there isn't a big range.
The only downside for me is how damn bright it sounds. I already sort of dreaded it ftom the audio clips - this bass sounds very bright. If you're into the mellow bass sound like me... there's a problem.
I already thought that i was going to slap flatwounds on it eventually, but now i'm actually thinking nylon tape wounds.
That is to say, there is a solution. Bright and snappy round wounds are not the right strings here i think, unless you want very snappy pop rock, pop punk sounds.
Once i adjust the trust rod though, i think this is a sturdy instrument. The price point also tells me that if i want to experiment in changing (upgrading) these cheap brittle pickups, i can. I'm still enjoying this bass, even if the voice is off.

Ligero y potente

Solido y bonito 07.07.2024

Dado el precio me es muy difícil verle puntos negativos significativos que impidan darle una calificación excelente. El sonido es muy bueno, el diseño es hermoso, y es sorprendentemente ligero para ser un 5 cuerdas.
Incluso como plataforma de modificaciones está excelente
El único pero que le podría poner es que al cerrar el tono engorda mucho el sonido, pero fuera de eso se siente excelente.
