I really love this bass. I've had it for years, I've used it on studio and on gigs.
It sounds really nice, and not only when considering it's cheap price. You get a really nice tone without having to do much. I used it on tour as well, and it worked perfectly even though the conditions were a bit unreliable every now and then.
I have had to fix it a bit during the years, yes, but I'd say this bass will be as good as some of the options in 500-1000 euro category.
