Geek99 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Being sold on thomann - anyone got one ? There's a pretty wood laminate thru neck for nOt much money . Are they any good ? Thanks Quote
Kiryll Konyaev Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 [font=comic sans ms,cursive]Ive set few of them up but not too sure what one you are on about, playability is ok on them, but without upgrading it, i wouldn't expect high end sound from them if you get me, wiring seems to me a bit on cheap side too as i had too solder few jacks and pots. Are they worth the money, I think that they do for the price. [/font] Quote

I'd suggest looking at the 'Named' alternatives to that bass you mentioned and no doubt, end up more satisfied. BSB Quote
Geek99 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Yes I suppose I was aware they'd be built to a price. I do like the multi wood laminate look I notice also the pickups look to be a wierd size Quote
Jack Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 At least you'll be able to re-sell a 'name' brand for more money if you don't like it. Quote

rushbo Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I had a BeatBass - their Hofner Macca Bass knockoff - and it was lovely. For the money, they're great value and I shifted mine for what I paid for it. I guess it depends on how hung up you are on 'The Name'. Quote
gafbass02 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I have an acoustic bass and two guitar cabs from them. They are all brilliant:) Quote
