I bougth the bass a year ago. Back then this was the cheapest option on thomann. I had doubts if the bass is up for the task, but u know what? For the money it's amazing. It is just a bass guitar which you can use in ur home studio just as I do. I recorded bass tracks for my first realise with this HB and results were more than good.
The only flaw is frets finishing. Some of them are a little bit wider than the fretboard so their sharp edges would stand out. In my case the problem has been sloved by itself, because fretboard swelled after contact with more humid air.
Cut long story short - if u look for a cheap, but still decent bass guitar, this is the right choice.
