In which country was it made? (USA, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
Made in USA in Nashville. The quality of violin making is already being felt in the first hit. I am happy pocesseur a model among the 400 copies made. Beelzebub with his look of wood, we are already enchanted by his charm <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /> .

What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
Two volume controls (for each microphone) and a tone.

UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?
The handle is smaller than average. It is becoming very thin and very enjoyable to play.

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
The twentieth and final cargo is accessible without any difficulty.

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
The bass is quite light. But the bag comes with is very heavy.

Do you get a good sound easy? ...
Yes no problem the sound is well rounded course, for me, there is virtually nothing to add (if not a slight compression or overdrive).

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?
So far I do not see any music style where the bass would not work. The sound is rich and round and is destined perhaps a little more for the pop / rock. By comparison, the sound rough is very close to that of McCartney.
Of tapping with a pick, anything is possible with this bass.
Although I am not at all a fan of slap, the Gibson SG Supreme bass can also defend itself on this ground.

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
About 3 months.

What thing do you like most/least about it?
What's more: the sound is very clean and allows infinite adjustment.
The -: the first micro does not serve a stable support for the thumb.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I played bass for over 8 years. I tried several models and have trusted my ear to choose for (regardless of brand).

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Obviously the Gibson SG Supreme bass is not given. Bought 1000 euros, is an investment for the long term, but the sound quality is paramount eternal.

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Yes, without hesitation, <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" /> I only regret not having bought it sooner!
