Best value: Excellent
Made in China, low passive, twenty fret maple one piece maple fingerboard, two blocks identical humbuckers placed in position very near the handle and very near the bridge, two volume one tone, although robust bridge by a bridge height adjustable rope more intonation.
round head telecaster
finishes without defects, fairly thin frets, hooping good quality
classic fender mechanical
gloss varnish over the entire low
jack on the edge (a good point)

UTILIZATION

The neck is the size of a fairly standard precision-it seems to me, handle, the action can be set very low (3mm to the twelfth fret)
Access to the treble is a bit difficult because the lower horn handle space is smaller than my jazz bass or my other basses
it is not too heavy and perfectly balanced
The humbuckers deliver a huge output level (more than my atk-300 active)
I plug more often in the active input of my amp while it is passive.

SOUNDS

this is a bass that sends many serious and relatively acute, as it has a huge level of output drive your pedals will seem quite different ... The slap is not his favorite field but there always means to do and make it sound (eq amp, pickup). The neck pickup sends many serious fairly defined, but the bridge pickup really compensates definition and adds enough treble and high mids for perfectly balanced sound. I did not find any huge difference in volume between the two microphones as in the audiofanzine test ...
Personally, I just added some db treble on the amp for more definition.
It is certainly more suited to unregistre blues, rock, soul or What metal or funk (although ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I played bass for 20 years, so I have not tried a lot of things, the value for money is excellent, it is not the most versatile bass I had, but what she does, she very well. I have had the chance to find for a crust of bread (310 euros with cover and spare strings) from someone who had obviously not like. Too bad for him, good for me!!
I can only advise, but try it anyway before you buy, it has a few different sounds, but if you are looking for a powerful bass sound big, it is made for you!!
