5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty nice once it's all set up
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2020
I'm new to playing the bass and this is my second bass guitar in a few months. I initially bought a four string and found that I needed that low B string and here we are. This was the best value bass that I could find with the precision bass/jazz pickup configuration and I love it. Tore it out the box like it was Christmas, immediately set up the action, tuned it and it plays very nicely. I definitely recommend this for a beginner if you are not looking to shell out several hundred right off the bat. I knocked off a star in the craftsman section because I had to readjust the volume and tone knobs, but in all, definitely a great value instrument for my money.

3.0 out of 5 stars NECK DIVE.

This is a review at about ~2 years of ownership. The bass sounds and plays great after a set up (look up how to do this, ask a pro if you are unsure). Had to do some fret filing. The frets were sharp. Now they are not. This seems more and more common with lower-budget (and even mid-budget?) basses and guitars. Weird. With this bass in particular: NECK DIVE. Serious neck dive. Be prepared to rectify that. If not for the neck dive, this would be a 5-star bass for the price.

This bass is perfect for its price point, the only thing that looks or feels budget on this bass is the pickups but their tone says very different. Very easy to play and very pretty to look at

1.0 out of 5 stars delivered with what i think may be water damage :/
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020
i say that because the box hits at it. the knobs are busted and the lower jazz pickup is unresponsive. the tortouse shell also peeled off (supporting the water damage theory) but that's less of a problem since I planned on painting it anyway. Came in early though! Would love to be able to play it live and that's somewhat of an issue in its current state.

I found the metal part for adjusting the saddle on the bridge were soft metal an adjustment screws stripped out or would loosen during play.
bottom line replace the bridge with a quality part. moving on to the sound and tone. lots of adjustment to be made and a newbie may find it hard to adjust the control knobs for volume and tone. Very touchy and takes a discriminating player to find sweet spots.

Liked the TMB 100 so well I opted for the
TMB 5 string .. These basses are note worthy and reasonably priced .. In my opinion the quality and tone is bigger by far than the price.. I give it 5 ????????????????????
