If this bass was made in the US or the UK the asking price would be at least three times what Sire is asking. Sire is already offering the higher end version.

[/quote] I will know soon enough, I hope.. I have two of the Alder/Rosewood/TBS jazzes on order at Thomann right now, both a 4 and a 5 string, Wasn't sure which one to go for and Thomann doesn't mind customers sending stuff back once in a while (especially because I've already spent a small fortune in that place over the last few years...) so i ordered both of them with the intention to try them out,maybe make a little review of them and then keep the one i like most and sent the other one back as i can only afford to keep one.. (The 4 stringer could be a good go to slap-bass i think, but being realistic i have more need for the versatility of a 5'er a.t.m., so if the 5 string feels and sounds good and if the B string is as tight as Jauqo says , then that will be probably the one i keep.) I'll report back as soon as I've tried them out. Edited February 12, 2015 by Bassdude BE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 One in a shop in Holland (4 stg).

Marvin Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 There are few guys on Talkbass who have ordered them. I'm eagerly awaiting their opinion on them. One used to be a regular on here whose opinion I much valued...pity he's not on here anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseldalziel Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 There's a brief unboxing review of a white blonde from Thomann in this link http://www.talkbass.com/threads/two-new-marcus-miller-budget-signature-model-basses.1117337/page-17 I'm going for a natural ash v7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 So it seems US had a headstart on ordering, but they can't actually get them - with the first lot arriving to EU customers. That unboxing does look great. I think that's made up my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 From what I can gather the US ones come with the cover and a gig bag, but the European ones don't seem to. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
