UTILIZATION

In the preamble, after 20 years of guitar, I wanted to play as the bass. I have recently, so it is a notice of neophyte.
The neck is super nice. I found the strings a bit (slight frisouille with purchase).
And even for a guitarist used to pulling a 42 max, I can pinch the box without first qu'ça frieze.
Question her, I find it very versatile. I get completely different sounds by changing the pickup balance and equalization.
Deaf to the large snapping clear.

SOUNDS

With no specific style of play, it suits me well because wide sound palette.
I play on an old Novanex 30W and it sounds great.
(Rock, Blues, Pop, Jazz, Variety)
I do not yet mastered the slap, I do not know if she should.

OVERALL OPINION

I have yet to step back but a priori, it is a very good instrument for beginners.
The handle is nice and does not reject the beginner.
The sound is not typical and can try a little of all styles.

I had a big of a priori STORM (they made guitars really null)
I tried two entry-level models (Ibanez GSR200, Squier JazzBass) but this one I was immediately excited.
(I have a little hesitant with SQUIER JazzBass whose handle is also very good).

Low active (with a proper violin) for that price, I have not seen any.
I probably do it again this choice.
(Added 20/01)
I noticed that the batteries wear out too quickly. And for good reason. On mine, the mass of the battery (black wire) was directly connected to the ground. So even when the jack was removed the battery was connected.
You just reverse the black wire with the other mass (the microphones) on the jack.
Thus the circuit of the battery is only closed when the jack is present and the battery does not wear that if you use it ;-))
