I glue myself because if the string has four more notices, no one has mentioned the five-string ... For specifications check out the seller: o) Basically it is a five-string bass with active electronics, no equivalent on the market at this price (a score).
Made in China, distributed by Thomann, we do not know too much about the manufacture and all the advice on my copy so, yours may be different (if manufactured in another workshop etc ...).

Received in a cardboard box, protected by a plastic bag and wedged with pieces of polystyrene, packaging ok. Comes with two Allen wrenches and a jack.
UTILIZATION
The bass is almost paid from the box. Visual inspection, no defects finish (I bought the 7-string guitar at Harley Benton, this bass is better finished). Channel enjoyable (I have small hands). Not balance nickel, the handle is heavy, but with a strap that will not slip it does not pose a problem. The accuracy is not good, I had to set the jumpers (easy with an electronic tuner, it gives good bass, then rope rope, we play the twelfth box and you look at what the tuner says: if it is above the note, you must lengthen the rope, thus reducing the trigger guard. For here, it relaxes the rope, with the small allen key is loosened the screw that is in the saddle, he was back in thought, is tightened, it tightens the rope, one retest ...). After this setting the accuracy is very good throughout the race.
The strings provided seem good, at least I feel no need to change (again different from the 7-string guitar). The action is ok for me, no need to change the height of the bridges (mainly game pick).
Active electronics, a battery that comes on the back of the bass. Four pots: volume, mix a mic, 2-band EQ, mix and eq have a "midpoint" (a step that is felt when turning the knob).
SOUNDS
I use a bass preamp / multi-effects Lexicon MPX-G2 (dedicated guitar but has presets for bass). Full, round, the EQ is effective, the two microphones are markedly different, with possibilities of sounds with all that.
OVERALL OPINION
Purchased for use in home studio, this bass suits me perfectly for this purpose (I am not a bass player and does not live with, otherwise I might have other requirements). Unbeatable value for money, I think this bass would also be an excellent choice for beginners, or in low relief.
