All user reviews for the Johnson Guitars Herringbone bass

This bass is made in China and assembled by hand. The microphone is located under the saddle of the bridge is a micro active enough good quality (BELCAT EQ7745 B). The neck is quite wide and has 22 frets. The round-table connection is made at the 15th fret. My bass has a cutaway that allows easy access to a treble. The entire neck is very playable and makes travel fast. This is all time low of electro-ac so it's a little frieze. The handle is in D.
Level of the preamp, there is a volume bar, a bar intensity of mediums, a low potter, potter a medium, a potter and a potter acute sensitivity of the microphone.

UTILIZATION

As I said, the handle is D, well wide. This style of handle is quite suitable for a set of acoustic type. You can play this bass simply, without trying to make slap or tapping. In this configuration, it works well. I play in a group of French songs and the acoustic sound of the bass be amplified enough. In general, I play on a Polytone amp minibrute 150wts III should be used to play bass or electric jazz guitar. As I said a cutaway makes access to acute (all very true) easy. Level ergonomics, my bass guitar has a form of super jumbo, with a broad chest and ribs important. The weight is quite acceptable to play throughout a day or two of rehearsal. When the sound, everything depends mainly on the amp, I love that sound good round, I'm pretty satisfied with the configuration Polytone / Johnson.

SOUNDS

The bass is great for acoustic jazz or gypsy. The sound is quite round and fat but it is probably part of my Polytone amp ( http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar+Amp/product/Polytone/Mini-Brute+III/10 / 1 ( http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar+Amp/product/Polytone/Mini-Brute+III/10/1 )
). I set my bass without too much or too medium of acute, severe are put forward, I take as a part of the sensitivity of the microphone (the sound is more muffled, more percussive) and mediums.

OVERALL OPINION

I use régulierment (3A 4 times a week for repeated from 3 to 4 hours and at least twice a month on stage). On stage, it is preferable to an "airlock" (cover your mouth) to avoid larscène. I bought it on ebay for € 300 and I had tried before without some low acouqtiques be convinced so I am tempted by the latter on a "whim" and I do not regret my purchase .. not ideal annoy the whole building when I taff in my corner. However I plan prochan
inement the purchase of an electric bass to expand my palette of sound (probably a craftsman B4 or A4 in cort ...). If you want to hear a little this low on this appointment at: http://www.myspace.com/142204384
