Asian manufacturing I think ... Wilkinson hardware and pickups but
20 frets, 2 mic jazz.
1 volume by microwave, a general tone
UTILIZATION
Nice handle for my small hands, fine, flat, fast.
Access to acute correct.
Bonnne ergonomics, I was surprised by its weight very correct too.
SOUNDS
This is my first fretless, and I can not claim myself to have much experience, but she seems pretty versatile.
I play in a rock band (on Berhinger amp, or more often via Live Console B2.1u Zoom pedal) but I took this to fretless jazz pianist with my brother. Bon bah as it is a fretless, it is time to adapt and work to ring true, but it is not specific to the VJ96.
I still prefer the sound, versatility and potatoes of my VJ96, compared to my old fretted bass (an aria pro II Mad Axe 90s, ok this is not the top, but it is well worth some input ranges current ...)
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for several months.
What I like most is the value for money: bought new on the internet from a dealer English, I got it for 235 € including shipping ...
I was not expecting to have such an instrument, for a price so low.
Certainly all is not rosy at finish, and then it is better to change the strings at once supplied, roundwound far too aggressive for the key, unvarnished!
But I think for a first fretless, it's really a good deal.
And then the vintage, I'm not particularly addictive, but it does not hurt.
I obviously do it again this election, for such a budget!
