    Super low!

    Fender Steve Bailey Fretless Jazz Bass VIPublished on 06/16/12 at 08:14
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Made in USA
    Fretless neck asymmetrical two octaves (9.5 "to 14")
    Markings on the side of the handle (completely invisible on stage if not enough light!)
    Ebony fingerboard.
    Overall volume
    Balance (which is not really one: the central position 2 Humbucker pickups run in and as soon as you turn the knob one way or the other was immediately one or the other microphone only single coil with no change in balance between the two! knob it actually works more like three-position switch than what is expected of a balance!!)
    Dual Tone: Bass boost / cut, Treble boost / cut
    Mute switch, which I find unnecessary, it would have been better to switch to a passive / active!

    UTILIZATION

    Super nice round to play (fingers and even slap on the fretless) except access to acute because of the horn a little narrow for my taste. .
    Not quite balanced: the handle slightly lower under the loose but it does not bother me.
    It gives me a low light compared to my Yamaha TRB6P (1992)!
    (Probably because the handle (Maple) is a part and the body (alder) also no different wood species that eventually fighting against each other rather than engaging in a frank and direct her!
    (This is only my opinion bassist! Luthier'm not!)
    I also like the varnish that does not look too thick and let it ring wood

    SOUNDS

    All that is possible with a Fender is under your fingers!
    No need to lug an external preamp (Sadowsky DI) as with my other bass!

    OVERALL OPINION

    The ITS Fender!
    Despite some amendments to it (a real knob balance, an active / passive switch, phosphorescent markings on the side of the handle or downright freight lines, and a knob Passive tone for a more vintage if necessary, I am very satisfied with this bass!

    With the experience I have only one desire: to procure fretted version! : P
