Yes a bit frustrating isn't it. I seem to recall that one of the themes that emerged from the longish thread on here, last year was it, that reviews of basses that didn't cost £2,500+ would be appreciated, but I don't immediately remember any massive change in that respect.
We still have articles with missing pages, thinish content and interviews. My own particular frustration is that some particular visual feature of a bass is referred to in a review and there is no pic of it.
