First thing that i am going to write is an advice. Do not input the battery inside the bass for active pickups, save it for when i wanna impress someone and practice with passive pickups.
The bass has a clean sound, i have been using it for 3 weeks, i have not had any problem until now.
The finish is beautiful, black and glossy, I might paint a couple of skulls myself and make it perfect for black metal. It came without any crack or visible dent and it was tuned pretty well expect the E, it was tuned too low but i will blame that to the transportation.
The packing was good, it seemed secure.
It sounds more rock-like than jazz-like in my opinion. It has a small problem at the 8-th fret e string, it sounds buzzy. It might just be my bazz but again i am just reporting a problem. It does not really mater to me because i can count it with my 10 fingers the amount of times that i will use e-8 in metal.
The sound is clean, the knobs for sound control work well, the tuners work without problem it is a fine bass.
My last words are that this bass is worth every cent of 140 euro. This is too good for that much actually. The same quality of bass but a fender was 400 dollars in a local shop and you find that kind of bad behaviour to us bass players from merchants all around by supercharging us for an extra 4 inches of wood.
Thomas does not do that!
