Disapointment

Johnny Kings 02.05.2023

Bought this bass for its characteristics: J neck pickup and a bridge humbucker with a single-coil switch option, active electronics, natural finish and many positive reviews. Unfortunately, this bass turned out to be a disappointment, not for these characteristics but for the poor manufacturing quality: the bridge was screwed in in the wrong location and the strings were completely missing the pickup poles. It was so extreme and visible that I didn't even plug in the bass to an amp (had to rate the sound for this review, so I give it a middle score, i.e., three stars but did not test it). It is amazing how such fault was not detected in the factory. Anyways, sent the bass back to Thomann and the return was accepted. Getting another model now...

Much more than a budget instrument

Nino Z. 29.12.2020

This bass guitar does not belong to the its price group, it could be easily compared with some much more expensive instruments. Very solid made, high quality wood and other materials, smooth very playable neck. It is still good as it is but with few interventions, like installing some better pickups (especially humbucker one) could be built to an instrument even with a professional characteristics.

incredible bass guitar

Fantastic bass 21.12.2023

This is simply a great bass, its comparable to a bass 3x the cost. Every other bass under 1k usd i compared it to i was dissapointed with. There are some minor typo issues with specs, pickups, and the active circuit does nothing for me. Removed the active circuitry (-1 star for active circuit) and added a DPDT on-on-on switch to select the humbucker in single neck, parallel, single bridge I'm totally happy with how this guitar sounds now. The selectable MM coils line up perfectly with 60s or 70s jazz position.

Still planning to swap the pickups for Bartolini's to make this setup similar to a Lakland. Although this bass plays just fine and has completely serviceable tones from the factory the factory pickups aren't matched well and there are huge volume differences even in passive between the neck/bridge but it still sounds really good once you dial something in.

If you are going to mess with the pickups be advised that the wiring diagram on the Roswell site is incorrect. the red/green start and end wires are reversed, I verified this with a DMM on the pickups. I suspect this out of phase wiring was responsible for the MM tone that I wasn't happy with (and the reason I re-wired the bass).

If they released the 25th anniversary in the J model i would have ordered it to replace mine no question.
