Published on 05/11/11 at 13:15
See previous article, very good and very complete.
The Elixir brand strings.
The "scale length" is 35 ".
UTILIZATION
The neck is truly a revelation.
I am not an expert bass player, I have not tried many basses and this is only the second that I buy in my life, but frankly, the comfort of the handle speaks for itself.
It is very playable, so even in the last frets, through a deep cutting of the body.
The weight is quite big, normal to the solid mahogany, but it is well balanced.
SOUNDS
I'm mostly in neck pickup with an adjustable on bass + +, and midrange and treble means.
My style of music these days is closer to what may Massive Attack for example, with rhythms somewhat slow and low "heavy" although this,
I go into a Boss Dr. Rhythm DR-880 "which has some simus bass, and then I go into the Zoom B2.1u used compressor, multi-effects, amp simulation and DI Box.
From there I returned to the table XLR balanced mix Xenyx X1622USB, which has preamps with adjustable compression.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for four months.
What I like most is the comfort of the handle, and the look created by the burr walnut.
What I like least is the bridge pickup, not bad, but it is less my style of music and gaming
The price / quality ratio I think is excellent.
This bass is comfortable, beautiful, well constructed, with a good variety of sounds.
Its finish is neat, although it may be noted the inconsistency of an incision in the neck through the cavity to create dedicated to batteries (low active), and the fact that the door of the housing is fixed by two small screws that unscrew it each time you replace batteries.
