*I just got the bass this morning*
That being said I have to say this is a magnificent beast.
Overseas shipping to USA took about 3 weeks once the bass was no longer on back order. Which I was well aware of.
Pros: It arrived undamaged all packaging was in good shape. The guitar had been properly set up. The neck is spot on, It only needed a very minor tuning adjustment to be ready to play. After giving it about 8 hours. to adjust to home temp and humidity. I can't find any flaws or blenishes in the wood or hardware. The electronics are all functioning properly and a wide tone pallette is at your fingertips.
I'll update as time passes.
Cons: If you want to get picky. The body is crafted from 4 unmatched pieces. Mind you they don't look bad and from stage distance you likely wouldn't notice. That is with the natural finish. If that bothers you get one of the other colour options. Weight: it comes in at 9.7 pounds. A few ounces heavier than my Fenders, less than my Peavy T-40 and also less than my Harley Benton JB-75 SB Vintage Series and my Harley Benton MM-84A SB Deluxe Series. But if weight is a issue for you, look elsewhere.
All in all 5 stars for Value, Prefomance, Construction & Playability.
Thomann for making a great producy at such a nice price!!
