trash-o « not bad »
Published on 07/25/13 at 16:02Made in Indonesia I believe
Agathis body with flamed maple top (for that price, it's beautiful!)
Bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard 24 frets
2 pickups, 2-band active EQ, volume, balance
The finish is very good for this price range.
UTILIZATION
This bass is very comfortable! The neck is thin but not too much, the body is light and everything is well balanced.
Mechanical hold well tuning.
Access to the 9V battery is back without unscrewing anything.
The negative point is the wood used for the body: while it is light but suddenly the sustain is not monstrous, the instrument does not sound super vacuum (after we are not in the high end either). ..
SOUNDS
Plugged in, the bass is rather versatile, it can be well-rounded as incisive sounds sounds, EQ works in boost as mitigation, the balance is effective. By the sounds of slap against are not top my goùt ...
I play metal fast enough and it does a very good job. I pass in the overdrive channel of a Jekyll & Hyde and in Guitarix via a Fast Track and I can get the sounds I need, cheating a bit (10-band EQ and compressor), I did not yet tested with an amp worthy of the name ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use this bass intensively since May 2013 and so far I'm not disappointed.
It will not be the instrument of a career but it is a great deal to start or second instrument.
I tried various Ibanez SR, SRX and GATK a Precision, I chose the Cort for comfort and I admit that the table made me crack!
The +:
comfort
look
variety of sounds,
Battery Access
price
The -:
Sustain (with a comp, you can catch it)
the slap
I am very satisfied, I think I would do this choice, but for the 5-String ...
