UTILIZATION

At first glance it is the raw wood look dull, no frills or shiny gizmo that attracted me. After 8 years on an Ibanez Verdin Whyte I wanted a more flexible low and certainly less cumbersome. So I tried a few prs everything available in the region and in medium and high game, nothing in my means did not please me but one. A US Jazzbass Fender signature (which I know) full of dust and a rose among the most beautiful effect. great sound, light and color really ugly. So I prefer my dealer put in the hands of Cort.
cot handle big surprise, it's a highway. fingers found the keys without worries and without effort, gliding like a soap of a low E to do the most acute.
it is a slap at slaughter.
Branch of an H & K BK100 like mine, I put a little prs 5 minutes to find my sound to me. deep bass, clear and acute vibrant medium (TFW not good terms but REPRESENTATIVES).
Large bartolini can ask jou thumb to the finger and left hand on the handle the run as Marie-Jo Perec before the Olympic Games.
Super feel and ease of handling dconcertante.
Good mediums quickly become drooling pass the 50% but no more I go not serious.
I would not put 10 Because all mediums can be improved and would have again.

SOUNDS

I play rock, blues, jazz and a bit of variation on the many fingers and a little slap. No problem to adapt the sound to the style, I like guts median of pots in position.
Plugs into an amp BK100 Hughes & Ketner with pedals Zoom B2.1U for the compressor and sometimes a bit of a chorus sounds good, clear and warm. I like. Black Velvet with this bass was killed.
The bass is warm, round and deep.
The mediums are accurate and submitted between 0 and 50% after it worse, just drooling.
The treble is clear, crystal-clear, precise and ringing.
REALLY are only weak point is the mdiums but the compressor runs smoothly.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months 1 to 2 hours a day and I can not get enough.
May be that the raw wood "easy mark" with unminimum attention is not so bad.
I would say a good fifty.
To 480 with a cover holder and a strap is more than good is not it? The Fender cited above costs 900 with nothing and a soft color in Caguas. Although the average level game is really Excellent quality and finish.
In addition to the raw wood look corespond me well, I love.
I would do the same why dpenser large choice if you have the equivalent for much cheaper.
