Dream Bass Scored Amid Massive Shortages.
Snedlow 10.03.2022
Was looking for a great bass with Fishman Fluence pickups. I own a Jackson guitar with Fishman Fluence vintage pickups and love the sound(s).
The quality of the the bass is incredible, the bridge, tuners, the ash top and mahogany back with the 5-striped through neck are a work of art.
Was so lucky this was the last one in stock!
It was available on another site for over $1000 Canadian more and not in stock. God bless Thomann for making my dreams come true in these challenging times!

Cort convert for life after just a few short weeks!
Anonymous 16.12.2022
I was looking for a 5 string to make it easier to hold down the low end in keys like Eb, D and C# when I came across a video from the BassTheWorld guys on this bass. Great channel and you should check out there review of this instrument - it very much echoes my own thoughts on this bass. The electronics are astoundingly good and do so many different sounds well. The construction is also top class and the feel of the instrument in my hands lives up to and possibly exceeds my MIA Fender jazz which comes at a considerably higher price tag. I will admit that another user reported the bridge being unsatisfactory for getting the B string to intonate. Yest this is a really problem, though somewhat exaggerated in the other review. With my B string being set as far as possible from the neck, it is the tiniest bit sharp - not even a quarter of a semitone. Is this an issue for me? Absolutely not, and I barely notice it in the face of how incredible this B string sounds. It's got a beautifully deep and clear fundamental, largely in part to the neck through construction, I suspect. If you're looking for a boutique quality 5 string instrument, at the price of something only a large manufacturer can put out, you've come to the right place!

Flawless bass
Dad's army 17.12.2021
A 1st class bass, having tried many basses and purchased many this is the one for me, sounds and plays like a dream and the construction is flawless.
Purchased alongside its own cort hardcase which is of a similar high quality. I can highly recommend.

Très bonne basse de milieu de gamme.
gigipe 24.05.2022
Musicien amateur, je voulais une basse 5 cordes.
Je possède une Cort 4 cordes dont j'ai changé les micros pour des plus veloutés ainsi qu'une basse 4 cordes réalisée par un luthier amateur mais qui est "difficile " à jouer.

Je voulais donc un instrument en bois naturel, sans peinture avec manche traversant, 5 cordes et active. Le choix c'est donc très resserré de lui même. Thomann en propose tout de même assez.

Tout d'abord : livraison et emballage parfaits.
Fly case inclus.
Gros manque : pas de mode d'emploi ni de fiche technique. Cela coûte une étoile. Amateur confirmé, je n'ai jamais eu de basse active et du coup quatre potentiomètres dont un à interrupteur et enfin un interrupteur isolé promettent un grand nombre de réglages que je commence à maîtriser à peine au bout de 4 mois.

Sinon, très gros son et bien rond : je l'ai montée avec des cordes à filet plat.
Très bien équilibrée, pas trop lourde elle sait se faire oublier pendant 3 heures de répétition.
J'aurais préféré la prise jack en façade et non sur la tranche car mon émetteur sans fil doit du coup être déporté sur le manque avec un fil !

En bref, un très bon instrument au rapport qualité/prix intéressant.

A noter : deux légers problèmes de finition au niveau du vernis qui ont entrainé une remise financière par Thomann : BRAVO
