I have version NOS.Le sunburst sunburst and the plate tortoise superbes.J are not like the concept of relics.Elle vielliera naturally.

UTILIZATION

oh yes, it kills.
- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
yes but it's still a jazz bass ...
- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
the jazz bass the lightest that I have rencontré.En function of position we can find that it stings a little nez.C is the disadvantage with the body leges.

The sound rocked some of the setting!

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?
yes
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Right now amp swr baby blue
- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
This is a jazz sound gets bass.On Pastorius by focusing on micro aigu.Avec two microphones open that is a big funk / blues.Le micro raproche grave is the sound of the precision.Je repeats, regardless of the setting, the sound is authentic and has a low exquis.Cette its very open with lots of growl, but not vintage sombre.C 'is due to a combination of factors; notemment it is very light and the key is like rolling, This is not a key "slabboard" as the 62.La rosewood fingerboard is very fine.
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
In my opinion this bass is made to be played with the tonalite ouverte.Ca gives a lot of growl and a lot of noise frettes.C is open, alive, very fender.Pour ca c 'is the best.
Some say that '62 reissue may have sound a bit more appropriate when seeking a well dark (tonalite mutated or old rope).
But all the sounds of '64 remain geniales.Le sustain and growl are off-normes.La low E is unique, what balance!

OVERALL OPINION

5 / 6 years

best: finish, handle his ... the low E ... . The least: the price I have paid in 2001.

Yes, a little ready all types of jazz bass.
- How would you rate the quality / price?
The value for money is bon.En fact that is the great class so the price will avec.D opportunity that is in my opinion a very good price investissement.Le in France (catalog too often) I think is anormal.Il negotiate or buy by mail order.
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Oui.En 2001 we found no occasion! I have paid a bit expensive but I am not ready to don 't be separated.
