Published on 11/17/03 at 15:00I bought this baby from an on-line dealer, and paid £190. "What?, £190?" you say?, yes £190 (www.singingchicken.co.uk)
I have to be honest and say everything about this instrument is fantastic. It sounds awesome- the soapbar pickups have a perfect sensitivity. and many control options are open to the musician. Combined with a good amp, this instrument will rip apart even top-mid range basses- i seriously think the manufacturer got the price wrong here!
In all honesty, this bass has no problems. However, (and as stated in other reviews), it is quite heavy- a trademark for many basses however. Oh yea, just in case this is your first instrument- get it set up at a good musical instrument retailer.
It is constructed of a basswood body, maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. The neck is fantastically smooth. Just looking at the guitar will probabily make you fall over and cry, my particular instrument possesses a amberburst finish- the quality is amazing. I took the time to take the instrument apart and inspect the electronics- the components are of high quality and they havent EVER failed on me.
Er, if you are looking into starting bass, this is the ultimate instrument- it is soft on the wallet and hard on sound. (Sounds a bit dirty but hey!). If you own a squire and want an upgrade, get this too. I combine my instrument with a Behringer BX600 amp- with DR lowrider strings (med-lite gauge). I think this is the best setup for me in terms of sound, but thats down to your preference!
