«  To become familiar with the bass. »

I bought it a little over a year had joined a group type "French song / sound." I had tried the acoustics in the conservatory gale and I loved the feeling.

We find the sensations in question at the grip, but not touched (not unpleasant nonetheless), and certainly not the sound, it will take a good amplification for well rounded and refine your sound at the same time and make more "authentic" (note the quotes) and clear!
The original strings are strings a machine, you must change absolutely wholesale and count over € 100 minimum. I made set by my teacher, if it was not precise enough (already it is the major difficulty of the instrument!). I made a little bow, I'm not sure how to use it, but it seems clear that the lack of body gives a "Raisonnance" really awful (and I can not find the harmonic terrible) and mid sounds a bit stronger than of the remaining strings (?).
I never used the jack mp3 mini jack and the other to put a headphone jack is a disaster: a breath unbearable (pressed into the amp and it will be good.) And above, and I come to what is THE default this electric bass: the metal bar that simulates the body fulfills its office but it vibrates and produces sound parsite we hear in the sound of the bass, supports the latter do not vibrate well and . The worst is the metal rod on which the bass is pressed it vibrates and it downright slap sometimes you have to find a good support and most especially to the release and the volume knob up and down rather than gains and volume the amp against by the sub bass knob affects interesting, although it modifies the grain, but do not push too much either (saturates to 3/4). The rubber tip of the stem is really badly done, he quickly damaged, I had to replace it with a foam ball while playing on carpet.

In short, it is very practical especially the futuristic look is nice, it is light (mention the cover is stylish, comfortable and well studied), it is to learn a bass for cheap, play in a style rock, ska and company, based more on energy and punch of the instrument on its subtlety. To play finesse, jazz or classical music that will be at the house (headphone, went through the amp, I repeat!) You really have to rely on amplification to nab a good sound.
A purchase that I did not really regret it anyway, because it gives a way to test the bass at a price very accessible (the value for money is very good even when you know when the price of a bass) which is essential for any self-respecting bass. Contrary to what I could read here and it does not sound like a fretless not, the sound is still MUCH round. So set the rendering is still much closer to the bass.

Quality: price, comfort (game and transport).
Default: do not rely on the sound of the instrument itself it must be amplified.
