2 micro
Passive Eq, 2 volumes
Medium-heavy weight
simple finish, but perfect
Made in USA
UTILIZATION
Channel pleasant
ergo perfect, except for jazz guitar rockeux ill of: we will not in the treble! (At the same time is low)
And it takes long arms, the neck is particularly long
and a large car to transport, it is about twenty inches above the average!
the sound is large, motion, and precise, very, not in every hand, especially imprecise ...
the myth of the pick is totally wrong on this bass (on Epiphone, yes, but not here): the game is perfect for fingers (but it also kills the plectrum)
for the slap, it's more rock n 'roll, but doable if motivated...…

SOUNDS
With his funny face, a sound typed, his choice must be weighed (and beefy amp, personal, I inject on the Orange: TB500 and 2 boxes of 15 OBC115!)
OVERALL OPINION
The bass of my dreams, by chance (almost), after some beauties wear (Ibanez Roadster Series 1, us jazz bass, precision ultra more ...)
I do it again this choice, of course

For more details visit Gibson
UTILIZATION
The handle is a delight, it strongly resembles a handle type precision, as it slides on a glassy sea!
The bass is unbalanced but it corrects this first pass at the luthier
his issue, it's the slap, round, heavy, powerful, there are not enough words to define the sound quality of this instrument!
Be it in the grave or in egusi it really sounds and it was worth our money!

So as you can imagine that Gibson is truly the queen in her field! it is indeed one of the best basses on the market but do not expect to see the most versatile bass that is!
Do not expect to play a drunk or Rnb with it was created to rock and it does it very well!
PS: forget the slap is not for
OVERALL OPINION
Personally it suits my style of music, but I must admit that being a big slapeur I am a can on my hunger ...
but de-la of that, this bass is a real monster of fun is the large shipments and that's what we love in Metal ...
It's not for nothing that she has become the main low SOAD bassist

In terms of features, everything has already been said.
The tuning is stable, it does not move!
UTILIZATION
The ease of playing, to be honest, this is not the easiest bass to play, certainly, but the rewards are worth it I think!
SOUNDS
The sound is over the top. Well me, I replaced the pickups with original Gibson pickups, and, it seems to have a low of 69!
Amazing!
From his here:
OVERALL OPINION
This is my number one bass at the moment. I love it.
What a look!
The Ombudsman, it's just perfect.
