Can't do much wrong with this
Gabrial 06.05.2025
Arrived with a ridiculously low action, so much so that you really had to pluck hard to even get something that sounds vaguely music from the low frets.

This is an issue easily fixed with the alan keys provided, and from then on its a simple but wonderful bass, with a super sleek design and look, elegant feel, admittedly simple features (a volume knob and one tone knob) but there's still plenty of mileage to get out of this.

great for the price

frets were good. i adjusted the action a bit and intonation on 2 strings. one of the pickups was a little slanted, so i slid a piece or 2 of cardboard on each side to align it but i dont think it made any difference on the tone.
the tone is good.

Really good for the money!

This bass is good for the bassist that likes to jam in a garage or play in small clubs. maybe not for the touring musician who plays arenas. With that said, really good quality for such a low price, it feels alright and gets the job done and that's what's important.

Very good for the price

After having this instrument for a couple of years I have to say it plays very good for its price range.

The tone is typical for a P bass, some would say it's on the darker side.

The instrument is very light compared to others like it I've played, the action is high but not that hard to navigate. The strings buzz when plucked too hard or when you play on the 4th-9th frets, you kind of have to develop a technique to limit all that buzzing.

It's completely fine with me as I got used of that and I'm pretty sure all that buzzing would go away with a good setup.

Lastly the pickups handle a lot of distortion and don't output much noise -if at all.

Good bass
Recorick 08.06.2024
I have this one for a long time already, it looks great and sounds decent. I had a problem with one of the tuners on the G-string haha, it was so heavy to turn that it completely broke off, Thomann did send me a new tuning piece to fix it. Overall a good bass but you need to put better strings on it a.s.a.p. then it will sound much better.

Worth SO much more!
CParody 12.03.2022
I have many basses including several some high dollar instruments and to compare dollars to what you get.......this bass is a steal. A give-away, really (but I shouldn't be saying that, should I?). I'll take this one off the wall as often as my favorites and have an enjoyable time with it.

Great starter base guitar for beginners at a wonderfull price. The neck comes in an unfinished form, I had to take it to a luthier to polish it and trim edges. The doses both were unglued and fall inside their cases and hat to be put in place and fixed

Great for such a low price
Vadim/PALAI 16.01.2022
I was looking for a “starter “ bass, I did not expect this one to be so good for ~110 euro. Quality is not the best, but come on, for such a price… I’m sure it is the best choice in terms of cost and quality comparison.

Pros: price, it does sound nice and feels good in your hands
Cons: minor quality issues (zero fret, tuners) it also arrived with two tiny scratches.

Overall I should say the product could not be better for such price

Overall good
davebassic 06.04.2022
Good by the look, it feels good to play it, when you adjust the action of course.
The only thing is the frets are a little sharpie on the edges. Good starter bass!
