Published on 06/18/12 at 05:45In which country was it made? Japan
How many frets? 20
What types of micro and their configuration? JB U.S. Vintage
What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)? Leo Quan Badass II
What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)? 2 volumes 1 tone
What kind of handle? Maple, C-shaped end, even very fine
UTILIZATION
The handle is it nice? For me, yes. The guitarists who want a low end with a handle will be filled: that of my tv japan is thicker and wider!
Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy? Yes, finally there are other basses that have better access to acute.
Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)? Yes, no worries.
Do you get a good sound easy? If we know what we can learn from this low, it is yes. Just play with the two volumes for a range of sounds very classic, but crazy. Of his way to Jaco bass chords post-punk, everything is there. If that's not enough, a small active preamp will go to walk around at Mr. Miller.
SOUNDS
Are they adequate for your style of music? Yes, because I do not have a style of music in particular. If it is to play in a specific genre, it is better to buy a specific instrument (therefore necessarily limited). The JB is open to everything, and it is in how to play it all happens.
With what (s) amp (s) or effect (s) do you play? Console online or bassman ten.
What types of sounds you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat", ....)? All but the sounds "active"
What are the sounds you prefer? All / What you hate? No
OVERALL OPINION
How long you use it? A year and a half
What is so special that you like best? Sound, handle and comfort, indivisible.
What is so special that you like least? Perhaps the Badass (not a fan, even on PB) that I replaced with a 75 Jazzbass "normal" and I like better (subjective). I would have liked a thinner finish to the sound, but it will start to use.
Did you tried many other models before buying it? I had Hohner JJ, PB Squier MIM (yes) and PB Standard U.S. (and on svt3pro ampeg 4x10/1x15)
How would you rate the quality / price? Very good
With experience, you do again this choice? Yes. Muy bien put notes everywhere, it makes school fans, but it seems to me justified. The mechanics are far from crappy (compared to my original Gotoh Tele ICJ) as I read it often. There are better, but it does not bother to focus on it unnecessarily. The electronics are very well made (JB Vintage Mics USA, CTS pots, Switchcraft jack) so nothing to change. It lacks a flycase.
