Sgt.Pepper's
Published on 02/22/09 at 14:46
Most parts (pickups, bridge, tailpiece, etc..) Are made in Germany but assembled in China.
22 frets (+ a zero fret) very nice, well-adjusted.
Settings: volume of the bridge pickup, neck pickup volume, switch solo / rhythm, bass switch on / off, treble switch on / off. Special feature: the control plate is reversed, the knob normally used to adjust the microphone volume is round instead of the volume knob on pickup Jazz Bass.
Nevertheless, it is fast.
The only downside (repeatedly mentioned): the strings! It is not their quality is questionable but the fact that they are "roundwound" and its in no way corresponds to that of a low "unique", the sound is basic.
By changing to Flatwound Höfner (55 €), there was the sound of death-who-kills!
UTILIZATION
Handle great! You can play easily with the 30-inch pitch.
Good access to acute, the violin-shaped support.
This is a guitar very light and small. It will surely not the robustness of a Fender.
The sound is great (very special) in all settings.
SOUNDS
The sound is beautiful (except with roundwound). I do not play with a Vox Foudation but with a Hartke A70. The rendering is excellent so I can not imagine a tube amp!
The sound is great, no need to listen to present "Love Me Do" is exactly that sound.
OVERALL OPINION
I have since early February and I love it. Well, it's not easy to find a bass: no moult resellers.
My having ordered from Thomann. My changes are: replacing the strings, replacing the volume control buttons and change the system attaches strap to use a strap original Höfner.
The price / quality ratio is very good but parts are expensive (€ 10.70 / button, it is expensive)
It is a charming low, it is worth the money and attention.
But if I could only have one low (my god, how horrible! ^ ^) It would be a Precision because if one day I was on tour ^ ^ I do not think it supports. One day I will have the version Cavern Bass Vintage to 1900 €. ^ ^
Though? That of McCartney has traveled.
