Best value:
Excellent
it's made in the USA and it feels, Grover, Tune-O-Matic .. In short, the U.S. is the Gibson quality appointments. And gold top is super class;
UTILIZATION
Low super comfortable for both the big rock with a pick lines as for solo jazz finger. Handle very easy to play. It weighs his weight, but it is rarely a big sound with a wafer ... the body is mahogany with an acoustic chamber which explains why it is a little heavier than my jazz bass U.S. but frankly the difference is not really huge between the two.
SOUNDS
At first I was attracted by its vintage rock side but after a few hours of play I realized she had superb medium (perfect for solo pastorius style) and it was not a simple low rock .. I am pro bassist and I play a lot of style, it has never disappointed me, electro to African music, it will follow you everywhere (if you know how to get the good sound of course ..)
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for over a year, I did some touring and I recorded two albums with .. I had in my possession a lot of bass (Sadowsky, fender, warwick, bass luthier ...) I am an absolute fan of jazz bass and it is the only bass that is not a jazz bass that I like as ..
This is a great bass for the rock but it will surprise you with its versatility and playability.
For me its only drawback is its weight but that really is not insurmountable.
For the price I've rarely seen and heard as good price / quality ratio very excellent.
