Everything has been said many times lower, I do not think it is worth repeating ...

UTILIZATION

Handle more than pleasant, super fast, end in every sense of the term, much more than Jazzbass in general. We are really close to perfection at this level. Then we can always choose another patent (me he's fine) or anything other than a rosewood fingerboard, but then it's a matter of detail and personal taste. In the style I have not found better for comfort anyway.
Access to acute right, like any Jazzbass, and even though I'm not often I walk by there, I sometimes miss the 21 th fret, but again it's a detail ...
The badass bridge 2 is really good, and I find it more visually friendly.
For settings, is simple: neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume, tone. What Jazzbass basic, simple and effective.
Side weight, nothing special to report, it is average.

SOUNDS

Here we have the typical sound of a Jazzbass, it can be just blame the microphone volume output a little feeble, but hey, just get a little amp if you are not happy!
You can play everything with this bass, from Miles Davis to rage against the machine, to Bob Marley, by adapting some of the amp settings according to the desired style, and more. (Special mention for the slap, so nice, so thanks to the sound through the neck) Good afternoon, there was no potato in a good old stingray eh. Not at all the same style.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years now.
The highlight of this bass is definitely his sleeve, close to perfection. The left hand moves on its own it!
In storytelling, the biggest problem of this low, it's mechanical, without hesitation, that I changed almost immediately. Not that they do not take the tuning when you play, but they are very rough when tuning, which then reveals relatively long and annoying, and I still find that for a low at about 1000 euros, they could make an effort! But hey, 50 euros, a few tweaks, and everything is better!
I have tried many other models before buying, many other Jazzbass (standard, deluxe ...) and it again made me decide the handle.
I do it again so this choice without hesitation, it is widely as well as an American, and the price is far from being the same ... I recommend!
