«  Excellent bass. »

Published on 12/27/11 at 08:57
Lower production in Asia. For the rest we are in the classic ash body, 21 frets ...
A dual microphone built into the bridge. It is an active low so we find the 3-band equalizer.
The overall look is great if you like that style of course. It's a bass that gives the sensation of not playing on a copy and it is already a very good point ^ ^
The handle may seem a heavy can, especially if like me you have played one time on a Jazz Bass, but nothing scary. We feel that it is made to send a low sound.

For me it is a good well deserved 9.

UTILIZATION

The handling is fast enough, however, two points are worth noting.
1) The handle, as I have to say so is quite large and can block certain people who are accustomed to playing on the sleeves thinner.
2) the presence of a single micro forced to change his way of playing the finger if you like me used to place your thumb on the neck pickup.

The weight is correct and well balanced which makes this bass really nice for long rehearsals and concerts. I tend to a small frame and my shoulder is doing well ^ ^

Access to acute RAS is perfectly well on this side.

Well once you get connected right away its a big enough feature of this range of low. This is what is expected of her and she does not disappoint.
It should be noted that it is an instrument more comfortable in styles such as funk, rock and all kinds of mergers in the blues or jazz.

I note 8 because it is really a sound and a grip that I was looking for, but some may be above this point of view.

SOUNDS

As I said it's a bass that fits perfectly to the style that I play with my band and I love her (typed Musicman to simple). Big sound and a strong presence that hangs right away, my love!

I play a Marshall Dynamic Bass 200 WTTS. Once the amp 'sound is correctly set precise, direct. The dual microphone offers many opportunities that we were happy to explore following our desires.
I'm not a big effects user so I could not dwell on this point.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since September. I wanted to have a sound close to a Musicman without putting the price there selling a kidney. Frankly I'm not really disappointed, quite the contrary. This bass is a real small jewelry that does not afford the lower to 2000 euros. Also the finish and overall quality are very good. I tried several basses including some close to 1000 euros and it would compare well.
