Rocktile Pro LB104-N LowBone E-Bass Natural

First of all, I am a complete beginner and actually play beginner guitar... Therefore, this is my first bass I ever use, hold in my hand and play.

I've been looking a bit for optics an entry level bass, and the looks and quality here has completely convinced me. Great wood, good workmanship and except for tiny blemishes (I list below) no flaws. This continuous neck is really a dream!
Now I could not distinguish a good from a bad string action, but a bassist friend has given the green light. Here, the presetting is also correct and you do not necessarily have to go to the store to have it adjusted - but of course you can always claim for yourself.
So I am very satisfied, the bass came very quickly, and the Kirstein service seems to be very good.

Top!


The blemishes:
- A little unclean work on the outside of the groove. Disturbs the playability but not in the least
- 2 of the 4 knobs are strangely sluggish. This could certainly be corrected quickly, but you do not have to.
- The beautiful skirt part logo is not quite perfectly printed, or the unfortunately really lousy DPD shipping has led to the fact that the logo is somewhat scraped.

I was looking for a seventh bass for little money that is presentable and has reasonably good sound qualities. Testwise I ordered the Rockteil LB 104.

I got a bass that - contrary to some other reviews - is excellently processed, looks awesome, has enough adjustment options and can be played well.

Of course, I had to adjust the neck and the string action to myself first (but that's also the case with expensive guitars), one of the knobs rubbed a bit against the top, but that became unnecessary by lifting it a bit, and the strap pins were screwed on a bit loosely - also no problem. The color has turned out a little darker, but wood is now times a natural product.

The only real drawback (which does not change the rest of the quality and is especially good for the sound) is the high weight.
The bass is great for sitting players, but standing you can feel the part after a short time - and in the back ;)

But for recording and at home I sit anyway, so actually no issue. And if he does not go on world tour, he hangs in the living room and is there among the other basses and guitar a real eye-catcher!

Too bad for all of you who seem to have gotten a montage unit!!! Mine must have been built on a bright morning in spring by very good-humored workers :-)

The bass buzzes when playing the E-side in the neck/case. Although he was perfectly tuned, all screws were checked for tightness and also the set screw in the neck was checked. Unfortunately, he goes back.

The instrument absolutely meets my expectations. The finish on the fingerboard could be a bit better, but since there are no sharp edges or anything, that doesn't bother (me at least).
The sound I like very much, just as I imagined it.

This bass and the associated accessories are absolutely recommended for this small price,
looks good, is very well made, has a great sound, can be played cool. This part must
and can keep up well with higher priced basses. It is absolutely
for beginners who don't know yet if it suits them, older people who haven't played for a long time and would like to again, but also for professionals who don't want to take their expensive bass to the rehearsal room.
This bass is absolutely brilliant in all areas, just like the Muskhaus Kirstein. It is all totally unkopliziert, ordered goods are quickly there. Am more than satisfied with the goods and Kirstein and will only order here in the future.
