NOTICE GLOBAL

I had a micro PB Original Fender USA remained there without doing anything!
So I set out to find parts for Precision me up.
Seeing this low on Ebay and the different views on this site, so I bought it. I tried 5 minutes with the microphone origne (time to heat the soldering iron) Carrement ... not bad for € 75 including shipping. Once the micro changed: it has nothing to envy to many other low mark.

Total cost of the operation: 75 € + 80 € low micro (I made a case).

I look up other more beefy mechanical, change the knobs and weaklings who seemed to me to provide a comprehensive shield.

I will bring supplements once last changes

Very nice Chinese fabication
21 frets, micro precision in style
a standard rack
2 knobs: volume, bass / treble
easy to play a round

UTILIZATION

Easy to handle, like the treble all the details! me I do not have a problem of the weight is the one feels good, I found her relatively quickly, but I use an old multi effect guitar korg A5, which gives me the good sounds good big diesel are felt

SOUNDS

It suits me perfectly, I am a guitarist, he is my bass had to make arrangements I play with a small 20W Drive brand is an effect Korg A5, I have great sound with good rock, but blues, or good reggae

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months, well I find it heavy, I tried a precision of Mexico, is I have not seen the diffrence except that I have bought 60 Euros for the price is no photo, I would do without hsiter the same choice, it is a bass that your trs trs well but then the bass all the input range of 150 200 euros

- Made in China
- 21 frets, a micro precision type single coil (passive)
- One volume, one tone (and usually no bass / treble as specified in the previous post)
- Announced pitch 864 mm
- Maple neck, alder body and maple, the view changes .. therefore impossible to know, given the weight, alder is in my opinion be excluded.

UTILIZATION

- Handle impossible to play unless you have Hulk hands, it is too thick, too wide and too deep at a time.
- Access to acute rather easy, it's the precise form that does everything, frets of relatively well, it works fairly well on that side.
- The weight is perfect! (Unfortunately at the expense of sound)
- Ergonomics is pathetic head as soon as it dips a little loose, if you want to learn it, train you to hold a mass in the horizontal! (A little exaggeration, but not too ...)
- The sound ... passable. (No more comment)

SOUNDS

- Style of music: rock, jazz, blues and fusion, it is all in the same way, the bass is very versatile indeed.
- On a Hartke B150, the sound is passable without
On a Fender Rumble 100w is better, always a way.
- Sound pretty good in the low end, the treble is not really that, the handle is very average, if you do not raise your high strings, frieze ca everywhere! It is particularly difficult to play in the middle of the handle then.
The strings: the marshmallow.

OVERALL OPINION

- Used for 6 months
- Remains correct for a price below 100 euros, but always for a first down.
- I own a genuine Fender Precision Mexico where the comparison is uncompromising for Alba, I was playing an Ibanez SR400 also, again, two worlds.
- I made this choice with the experience and so it's deception ... the final conclusion remains mixed.

Summarize:
+ For the price
+ Versatility
- Ergonomics
- Sound

Bass-trs beautifully crafted this price!
-21 Frets
Micro-precision single-coil type
Usual Fender-type bridge
Volume 1 tonalitbr -1 /> Channel enough pais
Book-up with ropes that I be judge of 100-45, not too physical, just enough so it does not frieze around.

I put 10 because the bass was out of the mouth and is almost perfectly arriv RULES / grants. Just the bridges of the bridge lowered a little hair if there was not that make small turns of cl for granted and play live.

UTILIZATION

Channel dsagrable either not provided you do not have small hands
Accs-trs to acute right
-Lightweight (3.4 kg for the one I test)
-The balance is a big unless its own, n'esprer not play without the strap sitting and strap the body prs well up for it not to slip and slumps. Another small weakness: The 3rd harmonic of cargo on the E string and the test ... nonexistent MODEL

SOUNDS

Body purpose ... its chtif. Obviously we will correct the sound a very heavy and slamming his greasy rock style, a precision what. But the power, given the weight of the BTE is a bit feeble forcment. I compared quickly with the Harley Benton precision. 800 grams more than the ALBA for characters sound more and pchu lev. But we can not have the cake and butter then look for the price and say that the lack of power may be filled with a nice little multi-effects to serve as pramp. It obtiend a nice sound in the bass and it will give a little boost to fate on acute (unless you are a reggae play invtr).

OVERALL OPINION

-I used a night. The paradox of the handle is quite lgret pais, so non-small hands, so small size ...
-If you want a nice bass that made his job with complete simplicity it is for you, if you are looking for a few characters and grain, go your way. As I said Harley Benton equivalent budget comes less RULES, mini chouilla less over, but when sounds even better. So for a low budget of this I put a small 7
