Amazing bass !
dorin sandici 13.12.2020
I have recently bought this bass for my son ,at his advice, as a Christmas gift and I can say it's truely an amazing instrument !
First of all, it came in a very nice case ( not sort of gigbag like in the picture from Thomann ) and despite the fact I was a little bit angry because it was 4 days delay between the ordering day, and shipping day ( maybe they have a lot of work now due to Christmas ), I was verry happy that it arrived safe and not damaged to Romania.
So...let's start with the pros features:
The look of the bass is really really nice, maybe nicer than in the picture.It looks really like a premium bass. It is totally balanced, maybe a little bit heavy ( it's swamp ash), but it doesn't feel so when you hang it to your neck. The body is very thin compared to other bases. Of course it needed a small setup ( action , trusrod, intonation, one fret a little bit higher) but this was something that every new instrument needs.
Let's go to the sound now....
First of all, a very nice feature : there-s no difference of volume when changing from active to passive. (other basses have a boost when switching , because of the preamp).
The overall sound of the bass is VERY BRIGHT ,for the people who like mids and treble, it has plenty of them (maybe because the strings are new too) but you can make nice solos and slapping with it.
The 5th B string sounds at the same volume like other strings .
The output of the coils is very strong , you have a lot of output signal both passive or active mode ! First time trying Bartolini humbuckers coils. I have on the other bass Seymour Duncan single coils plus Aguilar preamp, but the output signal is not so strong like this one.

Cons : The hole on the bridge saddles doesn't allow you to intonate it 100%,on B and G string but this issue can be fixed with a file, to enlarge the length of the sliding holes.

I don't like the blend pot ( I am used to have 2 volume pots separately) .In my opinion the blend pot kills a little bit from the signal of the pick-up coils when using both of them , but this bass has a lot of signal. Maybe I will change it to the classic style volume bridge and volume neck pick-ups knobs.

Also the nut, maybe is not the best one, but it can be changed as well in the future ( I like the brass adjusting height nuts).

Conclusion : Overall, it is a nice , beautiful and amazing premium instrument with very good price /quality ratio. It's a bass under 1000 euro, comparable to a 4-5000 euro bass. If you count separately the price of the hardware ,materials, case and electronics on it for these money, you will have a bass like a normal one, with nothing special on it ( except the logo) !
So my son made a good choice ( like always) ....and what is the most important ...he's very happy with it !

I recommend it ! It worth all the money !

A great bass, but...
AstronautDown 08.10.2021
This bass sounds great. The single cut design makes for great sustain and feel, and the electronics offer great tone control on top of that. That said, I had read reviews that this has shipped with faulty knobs and shrugged it off as "eh, it happens". Well, it happened to me too. One knob simply wobbles in place and the other one had come off and found it wondering in the case. It's not a huge deal, nothing a little service can't fix, but still...

Punchy, versatile, and gorgeous
JPez 25.11.2022
Had the bass for about two months now. It gets compliments on the looks every time I take it out - the pictures look great, but it's even better in person. Very light! Easily the most comfortable bass I've ever played in my 15 years of low end life.

Actually comes with a HARDSHELL case, not the soft case as described! Very sturdy, lock and key included, and has a good amount of storage space.

Sound is awesome - fingerstyle and slap have a bright, clear yet woody tone (only used the stock roundwound strings so far).

One complaint, the bridge pickup started cutting out a few days after I bought it... turns out the electronics compartment was stuffed so full that some contacts were shorting. A minor rearranging of the wires fixed it up, and it hasn't been an issue again. Likely a consequence of trying to fit in a lot of stuff without adding body bulk.

Overall, highly recommended, inside and out!

Ein echter Schnapper
Barabass 08.04.2021
Habe den Bass coronabedingt noch nicht im Bandgefüge ausprobieren können, aber zuhause der absolute Hammer. Wer einen Fender Precision Sound sucht, liegt hier völlig falsch. Es ist ein moderner Bass, der, passiv, einen klaren, "holzigen" Grundton hat. Schaltet man ihn auf aktiv, und hat alle Klangregler auf Mitte, verändern sich die Lautstärke und der Sound erst einmal gar nicht. (Das ist gut) Die Klangregelung ist sehr effektiv und die Bartolinis tun das, was sie sollen. ... und dann noch die Optik: Maserpappel als absoluter Hingucker, die Single Cut Ausführung, der durchgehende Hals - sehr schön gemacht.
Desweiteren hängt das Gerät schön vor dem Bauch - gute Balance (die Masse ist hinten), für einen 5 Saiter leicht, amtliche Brücke und Mechaniken, Hals im D- Profil, also flach, nur an den Seiten gerundet leicht zu bespielen.
Und dann das Ganze für 845 Euronen; unglaublich. Ich habe da Bässe im Ständer stehen, die 2 bis 3 Mal so viel kosten und die im Vergleich dazu eher als "schlicht" herüberkommen.
Preis - (Wert)Leistungs - Verhältnis = überragend

Fazit: Ich habe noch gar nicht gesagt, dass ich bis vor einem Jahr nur 4 Saiter gespielt habe.
Absolute Anschaffungsempfehlung



Jede Bewegung der Regler im Aktivmodus bewirkt eine deutlich hörbare Veränderung im Sound
