Passive instrument, manufactured in Asia
22 frets
2 microphones
Controls: 2 volumes (one for each pickup) and a knob for the tone.

The bass is very light which is quite important when you start ... and the handle is very nice to give a very comfortable game ..
The ergonomics are excellent in sitting or standing ..
As for sound we get a good sound easy but be careful not to push too hard The tone in acute if we sound a little too metal ..

If you buy this bass new online remember to adjust the tension of the neck and the action of the strings are set too high for my taste, for once against set correctly no problem (you can put the strings close enough to handle without it frieze).

I play mainly rock and metal and this bass should pretty well with these two styles, one is easily obtained his greasy which coupled with a small distortion can have a big sound very nice ..
I repeat if you push the key fully into the sharp snapping sound too ..

on the other hand I do not like the strings of origin frankly once replaced by strings better, it seems to have a new bass!! it's good to know because to play a string of 20 euros will greatly improve your sound.

I use it for 3 years, I had bought to get started on bass now I'm moving to a higher model.
The value for money is excellent you can find opportunities for 150 euros!
in short, a good model to start low.
Yes I would do with the experience that choice.
