Best value: Poor
- Brand Elypse (exclusive boutiques for Stagg Milonga)
- Manufacture in Asia
- 20 frets, two pickups Jazz Bass type
- 2 knob + 1 tone knob for volume

UTILIZATION

The handle slides well, access to the last fret is done without too much concern although I do not recent FREQUENTLY need to stoop so low.
Ergonomics standard is correct even if I find it rather heavy in the long run.
The sound is decent for the price.
Obviously it's still a low-end bass passive and difficult to compete with models 3 to 4 times as much.

SOUNDS

Sounds well stick with my style pop-rock that sometimes turn to punk / metal ...
I use it with an Ibanez 20W amp at home (for the relief of neighbors) and a peavey amp with 300w of repetition. Here we see that the amp is a very big part of the job, the 20w it sounds ok but nothing on the 300w ca tears. ^ ^
Evidence that this low has qualities that are waiting to be exploited by a good amp.
I found some disturbing vibrations in the beginning when I played but it has disappeared over time.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this bass for almost 3 months, an entry of very good value for money. Its attractive price makes it possible to invest in a good amp that will give more color and reveal its potential.
Ideal for a beginner.
I have not tried a lot of bass before buying it, my budget being reduced I did not want to hurt me by testing low-priced.

A choice I think I would do the same purchase, but if you have the means to gently push the budget take an Ibanez GSR-200 BK, active, but more expensive.
This is still a very good buy at entry level.

EDIT: after 5 months of loyal service I went to step up ... Ranqueur but without regret. It was, for its price and to begin, an excellent bass anywhere.
