Wonderful Bass
This bass looks, plays, and sounds just as advertised. It arrived safely and the setup was perfect. The action is low with no buzz. I played it at band practice for two hours the night it arrived and it performed great. It is light and has no neck dive. I also like the light weight gig that comes with it. This one is a keeper. It was a pleasure doing business with Thomann for the first time. The estimated wait time was accurate and shipment was fast as soon as it was in stock.

Great sounding light weight bass for gigging
I bought the bass for 3 hour giggs where an 11 lb bass is just too much. This bass has it all, light weight, pro sound and a great look. It has a killer finish, no head dive and smooth and level frets including a zero fret so open strings are a delight. Some people have comments about bart PUs as a selection however in this case the PUs with the pre amp provide everything from crisp highs to tight mid and bass combinations. I can get everything from "modern" to classic tone .The neck is really a joy to play with the right feel and string spacings. I think it would still be a great buy at twice the price especially as it come with a really nice bespoke gig bag. Only critisim, the facory setup was a little on the safe side, neck relief and intonation were good however the action out of the factory was a little high even for a new instrument. The bass comes with a full set of hex including one for the metal control knobs so a 15 min set up got the bass playing exactly the way I like it. I have no reason to promote the bass, just wanted to highlight this instrument as a great option for the musician playing a lot of giggs, I have looked around and thi s is a great solution at probaly half the price of similar headless options. I have played the Cort A series basses and I believe this compares in quality and durability so all round one of my better decisions!

Totally Awesome Headless
I'm aware that if I start including other brand names in this review it won't be cleared to post. That said, it is no secret that the manufacturer of this mighty fine example of their well known work is of VALUE! I'm totally loving everything about this bass. The top is a thicker layer of Burl Poplar with beautiful lines carved into the edges for a binding kind of look like I've never seen. The hardware is also awesome. Thanks for the stock MK1 Bartolini Pickups. Another good choice. One more thing and I'll let you be. This bass required very little set up out of the box. I truly am unable to say that about most of even the highest end basses that I have purchased.
