Value For Money :
Excellent
24 frets
2 microphones type JazzBass
2 volume controls (one per mic)
1 tone control
Note that I had little problems: first, one of the screw fasteners for the strap was done by embedding the trunk of small fragments of wood. It does not see but suddenly we could not secure it because the hole being left too it was no longer valid. So I had to plug the hole with putty hard, but no problem since it reflects the quality ...
Moreover, the two knobs for adjusting the microphones were passed away at about the same time. I did change, I pulled for thirty euros if I remember correctly. Not dramatic either but again it gives an idea of the quality components used.
Finally, I do not know if it comes from the pickups, the rest of the electronics or shielding (or lack of armor?) But there's easily the breath: the bass is very sensitive to electro magnetic interference. That does not mean too much on a big amp, but through headphones or recording yes! For the record I would say that it is unacceptable: do not expect to save even just a mock-quality drinking with this bass. In contrast to play live or repeat it to pass. Perhaps a change of pickups see all the electronics and / or re-screening could improve things but hey, given the overall quality not sure it's worth in the coup.
UTILIZATION
The neck is quite nice. Access to treble is good.
In contrast the lower horn is too short, which makes it difficult to use while sitting low resting on the thigh as it does not take much.
Second usability problem: standing with a strap, balance unsatisfactory gives him an unfortunate tendency to pitch down.
When easily get a good sound ... Yeah, well ... sound but not exceptional for this price should not ask too much either.
SOUNDS
I mainly play rock band but in my home a little bit of everything.
The sound of this bass is pretty versatile, but does not break bricks in any style.
At first I was playing on the amp Harley Benton HB-40B which is a combo 1 * 10 "40W I had purchased together and which is pure crap. I realized that trying to lower real good big amps that it changed everything, and finally it was not so rotten. I have since invested in a big amp Ashdown and is much better.
Also note that the strings supplied backgrounds are really zero in *** ch when I changed to the GHS it made a difference as sacred.
In the end with good strings and a good amp sound level it goes ... nothing transcendent good either but for that price it's really honest.
OVERALL OPINION
I actually used (ie daily or almost) for 2 years.
I play in groups, and it is (for now) my only bass. So I use in rehearsals, in concerts, and to train all alone at home.
I have not tried other models before buying, this is my first bass.
The feature I like + the price
the -: not great sound, finish and quality components not really top
- The value for money? Well the quality is just passable, but the price is ridiculous, so the final report is pretty good, see good.
- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Yes and no: for a first bass, it's more than enough to get your feet wet without breaking the bank when we started, so I do not regret having started with that. But now that I progressed I became more demanding and I think to buy something much better for the future.
