Value For Money : Excellent
Bass made in Korea,
neck-through, rosewood fingerboard, 24 frets
Mechanical aluminum matt,
2 Bartolini MK1 micro,
a passive mode, it plays on the volume and pickup balance,
an active mode, it plays on the same, but with severe, medium, and more acute,
possible adjustment of the height of the strings at the bridge, but also the distance between them,
no adjustment to the head

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice, not too thick, not too thin,
good grip,
the position of the knobs can be annoying, they could have put them closer to the bridge,
to a low in this category, it is a bit heavy

SOUNDS

I play mostly thrash, black, rock metal, rock, hard rock ...

the sound is neutral,
no severe fatty
for the treble is a bit garish,
no personality / characteristic to the sound,

I have used it on my amp work, a peavey minx 110, RAS,

on my set: trace elliot ah-500-7 + 1048h, it does its job,
in fact,
we get a sound that quickly goes everywhere,

OVERALL OPINION

5 years of use, no worries, do not go out of tune,
what is right and wrong, the sound is neutral, but it happens everywhere
and for the price (750 €) is a good tool,
I tested pulling the strings hard, so larger,
and I had to grind a few notches in the head because they were too narrow,
since I came back to pulling ropes standard

what is disturbing is its weight,
but it gets worse

personally, it's a bass that makes the link between his first bass, and a low premium
