Dj Submitted. Mention specially for micro and prampli MkI Bartolini active / passive high quality.

I put 7 because if the quality is overall good trs, this is a mid-range: polishing body seems rough from the high-end, the sustain is MODR ( but it is a fretless), the electronic dj is good but perfectible, the mcaniques lack a bit of precision and require used to connect through play. Trs a beautiful instrument for beginners (like me), but probably not reliable enough for a professional nor efficient.

UTILIZATION

The neck is thin and Access in Aiges trs is good (2 octaves and a tone).

The dcoupe of the body is sound: no one ever gets hurt ctes, all is balance. I play mostly classical position: sitting, vertical handle prs body, but you can play horizontal or standing round with as much comfort, because this is really low lgre. To compare, I tried a (very beautiful) Warwick corvette that would have quickly dtruit back.

Some of the default prampli: it consumes the time, the switch (thank you explaining TOFE) does not switch the equalizer and not, as I thought, switching active / passive. Accs the battery door clip for easy and reliable. Potentiomtre the volume is effective in the end run. I wondered if this silent manner, to turn it by playing to slow attacks, but it is too far from the strings. In addition he spits after three months (the alloy of the track is aging badly, formation of barbules). It's a shame, because this 3-band EQ prampli, associated to micro Barto MkI, allows powerful sound, no breath, and adjustable rev. Today j'vite to use the volume, it forced me matriser the game WARNING: "clock" important transition asset: the rgisseur sono (Nexo line array) does not apprci at all, so NEVER switch on scne. Combined with the volume knob that spits is livable but Gnant.

The screw pitch of the bridges are a bit short, I have to replace d by 2 longer.

We quickly recovered the crowd of five pots: volume, balance microphones, 3 tone.

SOUNDS

I was looking for a fretless sound "mmwwwaoooww". I had trouble finding his jazz without me spend the rglagles prampli trs is effective. With practice, I have the sound palette Discoveries of B4FL is extremely tense. I am now close to the double bass with the neck pickup alone and prampli in liabilities. Everything is in play Manir must imitate the bass.

Homemade amp (for fans of DIY: TDA 7294) with 70W piezo tweeter and woofer MPT177 Eminence Beta 15 "in 146-liter chamber. Multi effects of Boss BR 600 (effects" acoustic bass ").

The original strings are nice, but nets can reduce Aiges dishes that seemed far too Submitted to beginners, like guitar string. APRS 18 months, I put Ernie Ball strings to his trsmtallique empty, but rvlent more grain. Too bad these strings soften APRS qq weeks. The rich harmonic combines the power of the grave is crying with joy, as long as the game matriser fingers and have an amp srieux. By attacking the strings against the surface of the handle, as on any fretless.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 18 months. Working srieusement, we arrive a huge varieties of sounds, including (although it is not made for that) rock and a little slap. All the apprcient Aesthetics. As an amateur jazz too intimidated by the bass, j'apprcie as the finish and rich natural sound (wood) and powerful (as the amp) of the B4FL.
His little default should be to play on matriss scne in any security but it applies to any instrument three times more expensive, even the Warwick Corvette fretless which ad resolder jack, or the US Fender Jazz Bass that makes noise-free mass of live or bote prampli console ...
This is my first bass, I tried four others. I would do this choice because the sounds are rich and can be confused with a professional instrument. It would be better for a double price.
