- Made in Korea
- 22 frets, 2 passive pickups Type J
- 3 knobs, one for each pickup and 1 tone
- Handle "GSR4" screwed onto the body

Quite satisfactory for a low at that price.

UTILIZATION

The handle moves a lot, making it necessary to straighten it often. In addition, the strings quite distant from the handle, which quickly tired fingers when we play faster, and also complicates the hammer.
Access to acute is impeccable, except that the body of the gene slightly lower when you get to the top of the handle.
The form is all that is most convenient, and the body is very light.

Note: the wood of the handle a few green marks after one year of use ...

SOUNDS

The sounds are quite limited but versatile: the tone knob does not give her a choice between a warm, warm, bold, there is nothing to get his cold.
I play metal and the bass suits me quite well as the possibility of having a cold would have made her more opportunities, especially during part of its "clean".
I played with a Laney 30W amp and a 100W Hartke aluminum diaphragm on both the sound is quite dynamic, but not exceptional.

OVERALL OPINION

Low choice to start, but to change when you want to gain speed and efficiency, among other things because of the handle that is too low end.
A bass that is worth its price.
