Made in Mexico, this bass is a fusion between the body of the Jazz and Precision handle. The original has a micro Accuracy Seymour Duncan SPB-3. it has an easel Ameerican Series with crossing strings. There are two models, the 2002 (model I) and the 2011 model. The difference between the two is the provision of micro, the 2002 is disposed normally be part of the E string-The side of the neck and part of the rope Re-Sol on the side of the bridge. Finally there is only one knob, one volume.
As low signature, it is in parenthesis has devoted only be used for a style of music. This is why I speak only of its use of punk and other derivatives.

UTILIZATION

Precision handle is very nice, it was well in hand, it is comfortable disappointed brief is the handle Precision anything. It is well balanced, I think its normal weight (I start having back pain in the right 3 hour snooze). And the body of Jazz is also very comfortable.
Access to acute is pretty good I think.

SOUNDS

The important point: this bass is made for punk and its derivatives (punk / rock, pop / punk etc. ..).
Do not buy it again for AC / DC, it is not made for that.
on the other hand, threw a piece of NOFX and played disappointed, and you went to see what it was used.
The sound is Punk, very modern. It is best that you go listen to the sound on the Internet.
I use a stack consisting of a Ashdown MAG 600 head EVO2, a 410 MAG and a MAG115.

OVERALL OPINION

I use since February, before I bought tried several bass, including Squier Mike Dirnt, a Fender Standard Precision and a Fender Modern Player Jazz and Epiphone Thinderbird IV. I prefer this bass, but much less versatile playing "only" punk, it does not bother me and do not regret my choice.
I recall again this is a low signature, it is not versatile do not complain that it does not sound out of Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.
So I recommend this bass has all lovers of Punk / Rock and Pop / Punk.
