Passive bass manufactured in the USA, early 90's for mine. Rosewood handle, 21 frets. This bass is often described as a clarification on steroids. She has a very high output level, higher than many active basses. It is equipped with two microphones (the G & L magnetic field, very very effective), a precision side handle, and a jazz standard side bridge. Level settings is very simple: a microphone volume is all. I put only 8 because it lacks tone.

UTILIZATION

This bass is very comfortable. The neck is thin (jazz standard), very easy to play. The bass is not too heavy and it supports it without problems for several hours. Once plugged in, nothing to say, this is a very low simple to use. I tried a lot of amps lately and this bass is awesome. One branch, it is very flat and mean right away that gives the amp.

SOUNDS

How to say ... Fabulous. The precision microphone has a sound very fat and round. The micro jazz will sound more modern. I play rock (rather soft), only the fingers, and the sound is still very present and very well defined. I put the mic and I thoroughly precision module with micro jazz, as the song. This bass is made for rock and blues. For the cons slap does not sound great, but I hardly play.

OVERALL OPINION

I play since 1996 and I can not get enough. I had other basses since but I always come back to it. I highly recommend, especially for fans of precision. A note: I tried a recent model that I found less punchy. Perhaps they were microphones set differently (specificity G & L, we can adjust the height sensor microphones to choose one or more strings that will be most present in the sound).
