Beware of the finishes frets: glue drooled over half does not inspire confidence manche.Ca

Edit post 09/04/2007: I went to the same store for a repeat test. The glue will drool over. I égallement control the instruments in two other stores and it is in order.

UTILIZATION

Note: I only tested the coffee shop in a volume of 1 / 4 of a Low Down Line 6.

The neck is super comfortable for the guitarist who I am. I do not have to stretch too much.

In terms of access to acute I can not tell you. I prefer to use the bass for bass so for now I only play on a rope that of Mi "very" serious.

The weight is excellent. I played with OLP Stingray type before which is really too heavy. No worries here.

Compared with the PLO, I find that the sound is a bit skinny. I thought it was an active but not at all. I should note, however, that I did not put the volume very loud because I did not want to disturb the other musicians in the store. Setting are not easy. I knew pa fair to the low purr) wish. The slap on the other hand are good but less than slamming OLP Stingray. The PLO finally slapper almost always the same
fingerstyle in simple two fingers.

Edit 9/4/2007: new test: I tested the bass at a volume of 1 / 4 of an HP Hartke Silver cone this weekend. It sounded really good. The bass was easy to adjust. The sounds come out alone. I do not have to do but slap prefer finger style. I also did a test on a PLO, an Ibanez and Cort Artisan RD NB 5. Chronologically it gives, Squier P-Bass Special, New Action, Artisan 5 NB, PLO and Ibanez RD. Resulting in the P-bass Special sounded good (a very flattering). The bass action is more c. ..... e than the first, with the NB in ​​five active there is no comparison (it sounds less), The PLO is too slender compared to the Action and RD 300 is really quite the issue.

I also had fun teasing the treble. Moral: ask a strap to play standing for more to lese. The strings do not curl. There was a good momentum of the bass action.

SOUNDS

I think this bass can be left in all styles of music but unable to turn the volume all the way I do not know if she purrs well.

Amp; Line6 Low Down modelle Rock.

Adjustments should be made on the amp, preferably

Edit post 09/04/2007: a hear all sellers in Brussels say that this bass is superb for the price you want to believe it. The best way to know if it's right for you is to try it. The last vendor I've seen (a guitarist) told me he wanted to put EMG pickups which would make great bass.

OVERALL OPINION

Here are some of my ideas on different low on price and brand:

215 EUR: Cort Action Bass: Good for by the seller and people. Sounds good and is cheap. We pay too much quality and name. Good bass groove to a max.

329 EUR: JB Squier Vintage Modified: it's a Hype. Sellers are not hot and there prefer the Squier Standard. Critically on the forums have inlays that are printed. I do not like maple fingerboard.

360 EUR: Ibanez SRX 300: beautiful low Dough Wimbish.Si genre with its active equalization it sounds better than Ibanez RD 300 I'm interested. Construction to better air

550 EUR: Cort Action Bass: A beast for its price. Active / Passive. It outperforms Mex Fenders.

650 EUR. Fender Mexico Standard JB: Very nice bass. The purists are soft compared to an All American JB but those with a Jazz Bass Deluxe US or JB Vintage say that American is not worth anything near. It is the eternal debate on the forums. I think it makes you want to play.

850 EUR. JB Classic Fender (Mexico): Wah is really cool.Sunburst and tortoise pick guard. It sounds great. It is better to buy in Germany because it costs only 729 EUR. So if you put in more than 29 EUR for the Fender Standard JB (700 EUR) was a low thunder.

If like me you're a guitarist and you do not want to ruin you to make your models, I think the New Action Bass is OK. With over budget I jump right on a Cort Artisan 4 or NB JB Classic (Mex). With all the material I have in my studio I can not (yet) allow me to take the top tout.Cette bass is a good compromise in low passive.
