Package came in good shape, no damage.
Looks:
The gig bag looks nice , the feel of the inner lining a bit cheap spoils the impression.
The instrument, nice wood selection, no cream binding as mentioned to the shop's page. No rosette to the sound hole, looks cheap.
Electronics:
Look good they do the job
Tuners and tuning:
Tuners look good but tuning and intonation is not stable and needs to get used to. More or less you play tuned OK
Interior:
Clean no dust good impression
Frets:
No sharp frets to the low frets, higher ones with sharp ends need a little TLC. Fret nr 12 and fret nr 2 are a bit higher, they create some fret noise.
a need some leveling.
Neck:
straight small and fully adjustable from the rod. Big plus!!!
Sound:
Unbelievable good, almost sounds like double bass. Fat, full low end, nice melodic. Thumps up for an instrument so small.
Try it with two friends of mine, both professional musicians, the bassist playing with a gypsy swing band, found a solution for his double bass transporting problem for rehearsals, and the guitarist was amazed.
Overall good impression, although the fret job got me to call Thomann for returning the instrument, no questions asked from their part, thumps up!! I decided to keep it
