1 single microphone but three well-differentiated positions, great heat, severe impressive roundness and sharpness, it will "slime" no.
Super Channel with trapezoid inlays, bridge of good quality especially compared to the Fender ...

UTILIZATION

Very good set, although wider than the Jbass; good accuracy, very comfortable playing.
The bass is still new; I have to re adjust the action to reach the optimal level.
The tuning is easy and stable, nothing to say.
The imbalance head-body is a little awkward at first but we made it fast; it just takes a good one wide strap to fix the problem.

SOUNDS

I mostly use the microphone position 50 or possibly 250, position 500 is more suitable for quiet acoustic songs and jazzy with the depth of the sound is nice.
I plugged in a Hartke 3500 head (4 * 10 speaker Carvin), via a Big Muff Bass set the minimum and Electro Harmonix The Mole.

OVERALL OPINION

At first, the particular features of the current half body (thickness) really bothered me, accustomed as I am 30 years the Jazz Bass. Given the quality of his (fabulous) I'm hooked and I eventually get used to it ... We had to find the correct position of strength.
I use it in preference to the 60 tracks on JB's, the country-rock etc. blues, RnB, for which it really has the sound you need, round and warm. Beautiful definition of each note, comfort impeccable game. The finish is flawless. TEU and look! Perfectly complementary with my JB, with which I alternate depending on the style of song.
