    The handle is very pleasant and contrary to some opinions, it is not big. It is a round of 42 (58 to 19 °) as a precision or a Ibanez GSR200. Obviously if it's been 2 hours you play jazz bass with a round of 38 (62 to 19 °) and as you move from a blow to the thu…

    The handle is very pleasant and contrary to some opinions, it is not big. It is a round of 42 (58 to 19 °) as a precision or a Ibanez GSR200. Obviously if it's been 2 hours you play jazz bass with a round of 38 (62 to 19 °) and as you move from a blow to the thunderbird, you open the hand for 1 or 2 minutes! Note that it is even thinner than a jazz bass at 19 °.
    Well if it's not so much a big lower level coorps but in weight and length (1.23 m). It does not lodge in the houses standard (in fact a specific Thoman cheap).
    The traditional home kouroi that it is desiquilibrée when playing standing up if you play it does not matter if just stalling the right forearm on the back of the body or it is necessary to move the fastener side handle ( The new models are corrected). Sitting, it is well balanced.

    Made in Korea in 2001 (buy OCCAZ)
    Superb finish, handle ultra-smooth, beautiful vintage sunburst finish with a beautiful wood grain, the look is hell!

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is enjoyable trs, wider at the nut than a Jazz Bass but easy to play. The head nodding trend but I adapted one of the four screws securing the handle to hang my strap and is much better.
    I have a strap with suede on the face infrieure which prevents it from slipping on the shoulder and everything is fine.
    The 2 humbuckers give her a fat and heavy trs (Thunder!!) IDAL mtal for many rare and rock.

    SOUNDS

    It should trs good for rock but not too much for the slapping, the sound is not bright enough. It is with that mdiator rvle personality all its play with the fingers is sometimes a little soft. The Jazz Bass is complment IDAL.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought it for OCCAZ (275) 2 months ago the State nine and I think I made a good buy trs.
    I first fell for its looks but the sound is the height. I could not compare but the original Gibson certainly does not sound 5 times better for the price.

    UTILIZATION

    This handle is pure happiness, the weight is consistent but is part of its charm.
    Sustain it very well.

    SOUNDS

    Using super simple, basically you plug it turns a little and it's good.
    This bass is not the fuss, it's his property as he is coming out.
    Forged in the Rock, this bass is also practiced in the pop-rock or in the dirty metal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it now for over 2 years, she took a ride but not a few bumps, the conection estsuper reliable, I have to okkaze to € 300 and I can assure you that finding a beast at that price compet was not the impression of having been bled.

    I play with a behringer amp, I do not know how REFERENCE, but hey, it's a 90W in any case, and makes good (because I can Galise the sound of the amp ^ ^)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a short time (less than 3 weeks), and I must say that for now, I'm thrilled ...
    What I like most about this bass, though, I'll be original is its look, the killing of hard-/ His sound is trs good, and worth the price, report the Gibson / What I do not like, well, the handle is falling, but I do not want to change the tie strap up, because otherwise the warranty no longer applies, so I have to do with ...
    The price quality ratio is simply excellent. I bought it on Thomann 399 instead of 490 normal in-store, and frankly, I do not feel they have my money jet into the sea, as well, and I find it quite embtant to see Gibson, 2000 provides for a more bass possde its the same as the ==> Excellent

    UTILIZATION

    Channel trs enjoyable, vritable highway.
    CHAC is fairly easy to acute, seated, even if it is not the best in this area. Standing, has seemed almost impossible.
    Ergonomic level .......
    Well to remain relatively correct, if the weight of the head did not prick the low nose, the position of the strap you to remove the strap if you lift the handle too high also.

    SOUNDS

    Noise level mics are not bad but not great.
    The violin justifies the price much more than micro that is pretty basic. It does not give much diffrence in relation to the other and only the Tone has a net effect on the sound.
    And we obtain a sound is full and trs is bold and quite a dry lens.
    We see clearly the direction his big bass.
    But for those who still have a little budget, a small change in the micro could dvelopper vritable potential of this low!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for over two weeks, with 270euros OCCAZ of FDP (it takes forever to have it if you order in store)
    What I really like its look is very rock or even heavy rock, but without falling into the metal trash too.
    The report is qualitprix vriment exellent although the pickups are not the best in its price range. But before the violin and the wood can be no doubt be tempted by the low and after changing the pickups!

She has undergone several changes: the pickups have been changed for Rio Grande Chrome (brand microphones https://www.riograndepickups.com/ Texas) that have the same face as the original Thunderbirds, the bridge was also changed to a more stable system into 2 parts. The knobs have been replaced by plastoc by potads chrome. The thingy on the strap was secured through the mounting plate of the handle, as the bass. I finally changed the pickguard myself and cache trussroad by their counterparts in metal, made ​​by a craftsman in the states. The changes have cost more than the bass, but having had the opportunity to play on a Gibson, I find my bass a lot more interesting and still much cheaper. It does pique over the nose (and I even found the coolest belt placed at the rear end). It is not so heavy as that and it is nice to play. The look is incredible and its nickel. What you ask for? Nickel for what I was looking for but there is work to do it. Great for hobbyists like me because the "base" is actually very good.</span>

    UTILIZATION

    <span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">

    </span> <div class="avisPart" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px; font: normal normal normal 12px/1.3em Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #1e1e1e;"> <span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The grip is nice for those who are familiar with Precision Rick monsters and other liabilities sleeves rock'n roll. The varnish is ok (much better than some low-end Gibson style "fadded). With the movement of the contraption to the strap (and a good cook thick webbing) the bass stays in place. The weight is correct, heavier than my rick, but lighter than my Traben 5 string, like a Precision. Access to acute is not great (far from it) but it is not made ​​for that. The knobs respond well and do their job ... after all it's passive so it's not rocket science, it sounds because it makes it sound. As I tend to jump in any direction to roll over after I tripped on my pack of beer and then to wriggle a lot, this bass is perfect. She did not move a hair. Also note that to play sitting at his computer to save the future international hit is nice too.</span> </div> <span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">

    </span>

    SOUNDS

    <span style="font-family: Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #1e1e1e; line-height: 15px;">What I've not yet said is that I'm doing good stoner, well fat punchy. I play the mediator and I have a stack ashdown configured for serious sound. So I was looking for solid bass (that I've explained why), passive, with a big sound, lots of gain, in addition to my Rickenbacker that I can not stop farting strings. To my amazement it is poised to dethrone my rick. The sound of microphones Rio Grande is really nice, accurate and rock'n roll. Perfect for what I do. This bass is suitable for everything stoner, garage, punk ... Briefly, whole rock fat. For death or funk, it will not, however extraordinary. The mediator is also preferable, although this is not your thing. I play better fingered myself but this bass sounds much better pick. on the other hand I do not know what happens on version "works".</span>

    OVERALL OPINION

    <span style="font-family: Arial, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #1e1e1e; line-height: 15px;">This low, transformed with good mods and customized with great pickups can be a killer. Besides its low price makes it possible to put some money aside to make it more vicious. Her mouth is amazing. So obviously I do not regret one second purchase. It's been over 10 years I played with a lot of different projects. I had many different basses (Cort, Fender Preci, Fender Jazz, Rick, Ibanez SR500, M. Sterling, Traben Chaos Core Traben Neo Traben Chaos Obsession, Warwick Fortress). Ironically this is one of the cheapest low that I paid and it is one of the most endearing (with Rick that I saved from the dumpster). Over time I prefer the passive bass and muscular. The mods make it unique and rock'n roll. Yum!</span>
