Value For Money :
Excellent
U.S. parts (bridge, mechanical, microphones, wood, nut, pre-amp) factory assembled Baja California Norte - Mexico.
The body is alder.
Maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, 20 frets, vintage style '.
Instrument weight: 4 kg.
Reggie Hamilton Signature on the back of the head with key Hipshot Xtender Drop D 'on the rope Mi
ELECTRONIC:
- 1 microphone American Series Precision Bass (body).
- 1 Custom Noiseless microphone American Jazz Bass (bridge).
- 3-band active EQ.
- Mini switch active / passive.
UTILIZATION
Handle a little more 'easy' than my previous American Standard Jazz Bass.
I love the rosewood fingerboard and finish.
Ergonomics is the same as on a JB U.S., so no particular problem.
I'm not a soloist but I can walk quietly the 12th to the 20th box.
For audio, it takes a little time to appreciate all the nuances of modes active / passive pickups PB and JB.
The interest here is to mix the sound from both pickups.
I like to put 50bp / 50JB for Walking Bass.
On the pre-amp, the output level is sufficient (above Geddy Lee). This is the same preamp as the American Deluxe Jazz Bass.
Low, the agreement is good 'no worries once granted.
SOUNDS
I wanted to get the 'versatile bass' for less than 1200 euros to avoid carrying two bass at each concert.
I tried two Geddy Lee JB (maple fingerboard), a dozen American Deluxe JB (rosewood and maple) and 'Reggie Hamilton Signature'.
In passive mode, the sound of JB U.S. Standard for the game to fingers. In active mode, it is perfect for slap (sound is very pure) and repertoire 'modern'.
I play on a Gallien-Krueger combo 1200CEB U.S.. I did not notice any particular breath in active mode, after this may depend on the amp used.
The amp does not flinch when I switched from active to passive and vice versa.
The bass is accurate active mode, it is the warmth and precision. I put the medium level 0 on the bass, treble and bass 10. One can easily get serious about the micro Robbie Shakespeare Precision passive mode. You can also get a sound close to that of Deftones or Neil Jason, even if it is the big difference between the two.
If you slap melted with the same budget, Marcus Miller or Geddy Lee will be most appropriate with maple fingerboard.
The bass is not everything, touch the rest.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for four years and I am very satisfied.
