Rocktile Pro LB104-N LowBone Electric Bass Natural

So, live, the bass sounds really good. It comes through well and sounds really cool with a proper amp. In recording, it's very weak, especially in the high mids, where hardly anything comes through... You really have to tweak the EQ a lot. But even in the bass range, it doesn't pop like the Life, and it's not an EQ problem because the input signal is very weak... But I would definitely use it on stage, and it's a really nice instrument for beginners. The workmanship is also top-notch! No sharp edges on the frets, just a little adjustment and you're good to go!

The purchase process and communication were flawless. The bass was delivered quickly. My son wanted the bass and is very happy and satisfied with it.

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.
