daturableupetrole « For undemanding bassist ... »
Published on 08/23/13 at 07:46Asian origin.
Basswood body (4 pieces for me), well sanded.
Maple neck with very light matt varnish, rosewood, rectangular head to work. It is very late. Means shrinking ...
Nut brittle ......
Key Bridge and very correct
Micro precision but with specific size (larger than the original)
Setting tone, volume and jack (same precision Fender)
Strings tasteless
UTILIZATION
On a purely technical level, it is in the low end with some advantages. The neck is really nice, fine and fast. The truss rod is effective and takes the road with ropes as 105. The hoop is much less convincing with two or three shorter than the handle (I chipotte) frets but against certain frets are lower! Not terrible, especially when it is the first (you know the pieces without FA please?). It's a shame because I would be able to still have a fairly low action if the finish was better.
To tune the strings, you have to play with the nut crumbling every time. It's light but not to do it too often. The six Allen screws for action can only be resolved when the strings are not strained.
After setting the technical problems, we made fun playing. The bass is not too heavy but still feels that a real wood in his hands. The finish you choose for the handle part in its sensations.
SOUNDS
I found a pickguard on a flea market and I really wanted to put it except that .... The pickups are not delivered to the size of Fender pickups! It works with their white pickguard (a little cheap in the cup) but that's all. the microphone itself does not fit either in a microwave Fender cover (it is vicious ...) So I bought a standard micro precision.
For strings origins, combined with micro Fender, it remains soft. on the other hand, with D'Addario EXL 160, it gets better: The rich in the bass with lots of percussion. Lacks a bit of sustain.
Electronics plays his role well, it feels real differences between muffled and very bright sound (with breath anyway). It lacks a bit of shade in the volume (we pass immediately from 0/10 to 3/10).
I wanted the sound of Radiohead and Pink Floyd and I found (in a storm!)
OVERALL OPINION
€ 90 Low 60 euros micro, 60 euros bomb varnish, paint and other Fondur, besides the jigsaw that Crame ... I made drips in my painting which is itself not homogeneous, small bursts of dust in the paint, so a cut head ... er ... craft. In short, it does not run in there in a purely musical goal. It is an object to which it is attached, something that looks far if you do not want q'on mocks us! And this is obviously no comparison made with a low A to Z factory, however small it may be.
I recommend the experience to those who have already enough tinkering or those who, like me, are curious to see it all work and on arrival were a nice object that holds the road but that is unsaleable (and laugh. ..!)
