Audience: Beginners
Well, at this level, no need to dwell more than what has been said, except to say that despite the fact that this is not an American, it is very well made, the finish is very good, Mechanical do their job. For now, no problem at the technical level (it is about 6 months I use it). Worth a good little 9 / 10, remembering that this is not a Fender, which would surely US cost four times as much, if you want to compare it to a P-bass deluxe example.

UTILIZATION

Also a 9 / 10. The first thing that shocks by taking the low hand is its weight. Incredibly light for a low, very nice for shorter riders like me, so I can move without too much soreness the next day, but I also think it's very enjoyable for everyone.

Then the handle: it is a very nice race rather late, although there are much smaller. Anyway very nice to handle and convenient to maneuver "risky" leaves a great freedom of movement, in fact, for small hands.

Otherwise, the sound will depend more than the amp as the bass, which can be configured at leisure in the manner of a P-bass or Jazz bass, with little more roundness in particular. We must make the right choice between the two microphones, equalization choose between the two, and it provides a range of sounds rather large and very varied.

SOUNDS

I play in a rock band French tend to quiet, with acoustic guitar and piano. I was looking for a sound that can be well rounded, and with the assembly of the two pickups I could get what I wanted.

Unfortunately, my current hardware does not allow me to draw all its essence, far from it. In fact, I only have a Hartke amp 30watts. Rather pathetic is not it? Anyway, the times I could use another amp, the bass was up to its name. Fender, the king of electric basses! My experience was the most conclusive of Warwick Pro Fet amplifier 5.1. I had to spend about 1 hour to complete the settings on both the bass on the amp, only to get a splendid, which was well defined while still being very round.

I was also able to get fun sound very rock cutting, for example, the microphone located in the simple bridge, in order to get the sound of a P-bass. Or otherwise obtain a sound worthy of a Jazz-bass by decreasing the microphone volume double.

Obviously it's a long job of mixing multiple settings with those of an amplifier, also many of the bass. But the sound is there! With a little time can be achieved with its huge range of the bass sound worthy of the big rock greasy (but are not as effective as a MusicMan example) to its all round very soft like that I was looking for .

This bass deserves a good 10/10, as its palette of sound is not only huge but also quality.

OVERALL OPINION

So here is obtained by a low offer a very wide range of sounds, great quality and a good finish.

It also has a great look, which plays a lot in its favor, it must be said. Moreover, it is still a small effect on stage! But as the look is not everything, it should first be able to make their own opinion. If you are looking for an aggressive sound, this bass is not so much for you, although it is possible to take something out! But for everything else, from blues to punk (old punk, or bass guitar as much as disgusting), but rather it should do well. Unfortunately, it remains very difficult to find in stores, which forced me to order it online. With a guarantee of course.

Fortunately, I was not disappointed, quite the contrary! I have tried the Fender P-bass and Jazz bass, for example, and Ibanez, offering the same principle of microphones. The sound is halfway between the two Fender, although different, not worse, but different, and significantly different from Ibanez!

This "Jazz-Bass" Aerodyne is a unique low, which of the mouth and sound! I will surely keep a few more good years!

Its price is largely justified, I would do this choice. And if one day I can afford (we can always dream!), I hope that the reissue Fender US version, so you can use the low of my career, in my opinion.

For both beginners and experienced, this bass is an excellent choice. 10/10.
