jlpadiolleau « A very good violin! »
Published on 12/12/11 at 13:49- Made in Indonesia
- Bridge G & L saddle lock,
- Neck and maple fingerboard,
- Swamp ash body,
- 2 humbucker pickups type Fullerton,
- Electronic active or passive,
- 3 knobs volume, bass and treble,
- A 3 position switch for selecting pickups (neck side)
- A 2 position switch for setting serial or parallel winding pickups (middle),
- A 3 position switch modes for passive, active or boost high frequencies (bridge side)
UTILIZATION
The handle is very comfortable to play,
Access is very easy to acute,
The bass is quite light compared to my JazzBass. I must not have a model identical to that described above.
The pitch correction is a bit special, it's hard to find a setting. By acting against it in the passive mode, which is appreciable.
I will say is that the settings are not intuitive and it's hard to understand their actions.
SOUNDS
The sound is very versatile, although for my taste it lacks serious, but I have tried that for 1 / 2 hour on a Markbass amp head with a 4x10 "in the store .. I would come back to this decision when I play with on my Ampeg BA115.
Must I make the appropriate settings on my amp to find the right combination with this bass. I will certainly return to this notice.
OVERALL OPINION
I have not used a lot but it's a great bass with a violin and is very enjoyable to play! it is very well finished for a model that is not US.
However I find that the active electronics is not very effective and that it's hard to find brands. We must spend a lot of time to get out.
The sound also lacks bass for my taste but it can be corrected with the amp. Again I must fine-tuning my settings.
For the price we will not complain too much, it's a great bass that you can buy with your eyes closed. I bought it second low to have a complementary instrument to my JazzBass USD. The only negative is, in my opinion, the active electronics that lack of efficiency and friendliness.
This concern can certainly be overcome by replacing the circuit ... While some have tried ...
In any case it is a choice that I do it again no problem. It's a very nice bass to play and very light.
