this bass costs less than 250 euro and is easily better in finish and quality of manufacture than pretty much anything i have bought in the time since 2012.
I briefly owned the gotoh version of the jazz bass. total boat anchor, massively heavy and with a neck profile that makes no sense on a jazz bass. but HB im assuming only manufacture one neck per series to keep costs down, and for XYZ reason on a P bass it just works.
this is a pleasing weight of the not too heavy, not too light category.
the fretwork is perfect - polished tips ends, rounded to perfection all the way up the board. no raised frets, no buzzing frets. the neck is perfectly straight, plenty of action both ways on the truss rod. the finish of this weird, beguiling lavender colour is also without dint, dent or imperfection. the neck is a wonderfully smooth roasted maple with a very slight flame.
the setup out of the box was very good, requiring only a small lowering of the saddle action, no doubt to account for the pickup height. simply lowering the action, even with these HBZ custom wound pups, was fine. a little clanky but fine.
a split coil P bass pickup isnt difficult to get right. aftermarket pickups make mild to indestiguishable differences. these are no exception. it sounds like a split coil P bass should. its not particularly refined or detailed, but its not going to make much difference. its a P bass. If you feel like it, stick a dimarzio in it. its still cheaper than the competition, rolled edges gimmick or not.
the only weak points i could mention are the knobs, yucky plastic J bass copies and the afore mentioned saddle adjustment.
along with the Harley Benton PB50 SC bass, this bass is as close to perfect as you could wish for. the fact that it costs so little money is exacly the perfect answer to *other manufacturers* being so out of touch with reality for a sticker on the headstock
bravo indeed.

Burgundy Mist P Bass Heaven. Nice!
B4SSH34D 21.06.2024
I'm a new bass player & I have been in lust with burgundy mist basses since the gotohs arrived last year. Such is my infatuation I would have bought any of them including the 5 string which I haven't a hope in hell of playing. My 4 string beauty arrived this morning and she is sweet!
Well setup out of the box, no pokey fret ends and she purrs and growls like I like it. Tuners are functional but not smooth like the originals, silly tug bar remains and I'd prefer 42-43 mm nut width on a P bass (not 38), but what's a few millimetres between friends.
I'm over the moon with it and if Mr Thomann had to recall them because they were accidentally irradiated with plutonium, I would keep mine till my last finger shrivelled up and fell off!
P.S. Get someone to do a proper online review on these.

Harley Benton MV-4P Burgundy Mist
Davide13574 21.06.2024
Rapporto prezzo qualità imbattibile. Il colore dal vivo si presenta leggermente più chiaro rispetto alle foto. Il suono è quello di un Precision senza alibi. Ho cambiato le corde con delle Thomastik flat e ho ottenuto quello che volevo. Un grarnde suono.
Il capotasto da 38 mm è la comodità assoluta per chi come me ha mani non grandi. Il basso pesa 3,7 kg, quindi neanche pesante rispetto al Jazz della serie 62 di Harley Benton che pesa 4,3 kg.
L'unica modifica che apporterò sarà quello di rischermare il pickup e l'elettronica, più per eccesso di zelo che per necessità.
Super consigliato.

Excelente baixo para o preço
Nunovsky_PT 06.06.2024
Quando saiu a versão gotoh destes baixos só não adquiri um porque era a versão PJ e eu preferia uma versão apenas com um pickup. Quando regressou este modelo nesta nova edição não pude deixar de comprar.
E a verdade é que fiquei novamente surpreendido com a qualidade que este instrumento oferece pelo custo que tem. O braço é super confortável e tem um perfil tipo jazz bass. Os trastes vieram bem nivelados e a escala é bastante bonita com os block inlays e o binding. Os pontos luminescentes laterais são um acrescento muito útil para palcos que são mais escuros. O acabamento é muito bom, sem quaisquer imperfeições. O pickup soa bem, a típico precision bass, mas não é extraordinário. A ponte é simples mas funcional. Os potenciómetros e os afinadores são talvez as partes mais fracas do baixo mas fazem o seu papel.
No geral é um excelente baixo, com qualidade bastante acima do preço e com bom som e tocabilidade.
