Wow, what a find!
After researching the various reviews, on various platforms, and watching You Tube reveals & demos, I decided (skeptically) to invest in this product.
To my surprise, this is an excellent entry level base, in comparison with most entry level products, which usually need setups, to get them to a playable level. This was playable, straight out of the box. Very minor fine tuning. It was almost perfectly tuned out of the box, intonation was dead on, string height was really good (I like it closer to the fretboard), workmanship was good. This is a steal for the price point. I would recommend this product & vendor. Took about a week to arrive.

A lot of Bass for the money
Pros:
-Everything that's on it works, stays in tune as well.
-Good neck, quite even frets, no serious flaws.
-Active/Passive and EQ gives a good variation of sounds.
-No visual flaws. The red "tiger stripes" could have been a little bit brighter, but still has a pretty unique look to it.
Cons:
-Factory strings are meh, as per usual (pretty obvious to change strings on any budget instrument anyway)
-Fret ends are a little bit sharp, but that's something I have even seen on a 500€ instrument. Easy fix with a small file or some tape and sanding block.
-Active circuit is a little bit noisy on certain EQ settings. While I do consider it a con, I don't intend to use the active EQ anyway, sounds good enough in passive mode.
Overall I'm really happy with the purchase. A must have for writing your own basslines as a guitar player.

Great introduction to 5 string
Came quickly, no damage, set up well.
Plays great, this is my first ever 5 string so cost and quality were great for my venture into this area.
I love the colour, it would definatly benefit if the colour and fade were brighter but on the whole great looking instument.
Sounds good and has some real bite. Switch gear feels nice and is quite accurate.
Plays well frets have no sharp edges. No neck dive which suprised me as the body is quite small.
Would be tempted by another but 4 string or fretless if there were more colour options.
Only downside was a cut finger from the edge of the nut which was razor sharp- resolved with a file.
For the price a great a bass. I wish i could have got quality instruments like this when i was learning the bass 20 years ago. Now Im dipping my toe back into music after a 15 year stop, Im glad i can get something of a great quality without having to save for it

Good starting bass
I bought this bass and had some time to experience with it and I can say that it is a good option for beginners. It is a good build, however, for the version that I bought, I thought that the stripes would be red, instead of dark brown. The strings are ok, but the bass has quite a lot of fret buzz and I will have to look more into it.
Overall, I am happy with it, given that I'm a beginner, but if you want something better and for a longer time (maybe from when you will up your skills), I would go for something in the 250E+ budget. :)

Great for the Price
The guitar is fantastic for the price, but it has it's downsides.
One of them is that the 5th string sounds quieter than the rest strings. The other thing is the string buzz which I managed to fix by changing the nut. It's unfortunate I had to do that but at least it worked.
