2 knobs: volume and tone
A passive humbucker
Bass 4 strings, 22 frets
The microphone type "pad" Musicman seems to be the brand Migty-mite, so to upgrade, the outlaw brand (low end).
UTILIZATION
- The handle is quite correct, access to acute ok, but if you like any rope near the handle on this bass is not possible, it frieze immediately, the strings at a distance, over this problem sounds good round.
- I find it well balanced and not too heavy, the head is not very aesthetic.
Do you get a good sound easy? :
- Personal. I never got a good sound settings.
SOUNDS
They are suitable to your style of music? :
- Is to rock -> metal and it looks good for that, the microphone close to the double bridge should give his incisive and high output level, (in my opinion of course!)
With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play? :
- I use the Zoom B2.1U (multi-amp simulator effects w / bass), for the home studio.
What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....):
- In config. home, I got a muffled sound and the tone knob seemed inéficace.
OVERALL OPINION
Well you've noticed that I block most of the sound, especially "on the original microphone", I suggest you to upgrade the low (micro change for better).
Personal I have a Seymour Duncan SMB4-D (bought on ebay OCCAZ € 50) + a set of nine string and the difference is impressive, the violin is actually quite correct and the tone knob returns to its original function! Beware the Seymour is very precise, high output level (saturation limit of time), it forces you to play very clean, of course!
Combines a small, according to my luthier, the thick rope (first) n'appuis not enough on the nut (at the head), we must make every turn with the rope on the axis of the key support for the rope more. If you go through a luthier take the opportunity to change the original plastic nut for a bone for example. Ultimately, it's a lot to do, but it's worth it! It (was) a first low prices, bought € 100 OCCAZ a year ago, I n'pense not she worth € 300 as indicated by the Argus.
(As always it is a subjective personal opinion, is up to you to separate things, thank you).
