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.
