Value For Money : Excellent
Precision Bass, all there is more classic. There should be a lot of stuff to mount it (careful, it is not saving but we laugh a lot:)

# Different screwdriver
# Saw & Files
# Emery paper (wet and dry) 60, 100, 220, 400, 800, 2000
# Sanding block (cork, it works and is cheap)
# Gummed cloth (cloth tack: super convenient, it takes more)
# A bomb primers (primer) (I have done without: error ...)
# A bomb colored lacquer (automotive type)
# A bomb of clear lacquer (automotive type)
# A drill with a 2mm drill bit
# The polishing compound
# The guitar polish
# Some clean rags
# A big piece of wood (for hanging)
# An old coat hanger (to hang)
# Screws
# An eraser to polish the edges / pencil
# Scotch Paint
# + A bucket with hot water (paint)
# A paint mask
# Card type "credit card"
# A soldering iron is better
# A vise ...

A pretty good site to understand how to mount:

UTILIZATION

It's really nice to ride. It takes one week plus a week of drying at all.

I know nothing violin and I'm pretty spot of the instrument. sounds like a bass and it is not difficult to play. (Should just right set). The finishing touches are tops, but I know anything farts ... it was I who did it:) The neck is nice, it sounds right, it does not frieze.

SOUNDS

The sound is quite correct. I tried it on my SR Technology JAM 150 + and a pocket pod and it was fine. (I'm not a bassist)

OVERALL OPINION

I just finish it. I think it's a great value for money for the pleasure of mounting a first instrument. Obviously we are not saving compared to the model that fitted all costs 12 euros less:) I had to spend at least 50 euros tools / supplies for the mount ... And I have bunch of stuff.

Note: I did it delivered in Germany (it was folded in 4 days). He missed the doc and a button strap. The phone, he immediately sent me the doc (in English) by email. It is very good. I received 2 strap buttons, 3 days later (still in Germany). the customer service is TOP. (Me I have always had a super SAV Thomann, returning the same stuff because I was not satisfied)

I would do without the choice problem. I wonder if I will not do like a Start! In sunburst this time:)
