It's just ok, quality equals price
I'm a semi-professional bass player. Moved to a new country and decided to buy an affordable 5 string.
Bass arrived fast enough, first impression was "Wow! I payed 6 times less and it's close to american fender quality!"
But after using it several weeks I started to get frustrated. So much minor issues was noticed. Of course its nothing fundamental, most part of this problems is possible to fix by investing few hundred euros extra.
Here is an issues:
- Ugly binding, same optical issue as described in previous user reviews. A lot of penetrative sanding marks;
- Tuners have dead zones;
- Slightly protruding frets after 15th;
- Need to apply force to plug a cable into jack output, usually it goes smoother;
- The angle of the neck pocket is not perfect. It doesn't allow to do the perfect string action setting.
Despite all this issues, bass has normal playability. It was decently adjusted from the box. And it produces a surprisingly good sound, 5th string sounds well also.
I would recommend it for beginners and average players who wants to try 5 string. But not expect a magic for its price.
