R-457MN WH Fanfret : Acceptable entry level instrument but not same quality as harley progressive benton bass

Playable and have been enjoying but not 100% on quality.

Bought this guitar to have a go at seven string. Happy with my purchase but some quite rough fretwork (feels rough when bending), sharp corner on the high e side of the nut which I have filed down as was uncomfortable playing F barre chords. Pickups quite noisy when not playing and sound quite muddy. Did arrive well set up and has a good quality finish. No problems with tuning stability which I though there might be for the money.

Have still been enjoying playing for the price, and would say for 100ish GBP still a very playable guitar for the money. However purchased a harley benton 5 string progressive bass at the same time which feels like it is punching above its weight for the same price. Feels like this could have been done a bit better.
