11 years ago

Looks and plays really great . Fantastic service. Orderd Wednesday morning,arrived Friday afternoon. Today.Called customer services to check all's ok and was greeted by a polite and helpful chap who spoke perfect English.The Bass is good quality and of solid construction. Heavier than my yammy fretted and about the same grade.

Sounds good and presently supprised for price. Also had a good set of strings on it and has a reasonably bright tone with a growly punch on the low end which is what I'm looking for. Thinking its a real bargin at only £115. Worth double that. Only long term concern is the bridge not sure if it will last for years but there's a.3 year guarentee so not too botherd. Might change that later same with machine heads. £50 ! Big deal. Neck and board are really nice. Very smart and modern styling for body and neck. Nice proffetional black finish. I have large builders hands so the wide finger board is great for me.handy quick change battery pouch and active circuit adds power and punch for a solo with plenty of range on the controls from heavy bass to fairly bright and clean.put it through my zoom bass effects and an old peavey bass combo sounds really sweet.no lines on finger board but there marks on the side of the neck that are accurate. Well done Theomann and thanks !

I've been after a decent fretless for months but even a second hand one was pushing the piggy bank ! Really cannot fault it
