Ibanez made active in Indonesia or Japan or Korea? Fixed bridge B100 low mahogany bolt-on Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard 22 frets;
Two active humbuckers Ibanez PFR-PFR-Neck4 Bridge4 and each with a volume control and an active system equalization EQB-II DX (a knob Bass and Treble with a lock halfway for easy adjustment).

UTILIZATION

The neck is very thin and very pleasant to play, against the pitch is very long, longer than I had seen on a bass, which give access to low rather difficult because away from the body and that the first boxes are great. Add to that the low slumps because the strap is attached behind the neck and the body is very small relative to the handle and you have access to low difficult. In addition nosed, low tendency to look before you upright so you must learn to play without looking down. Access to acute is easy however!
Easily obtained a good sound by the versatility of the two humbuckers and combinations thereof, and thanks to the effectiveness of the active electronics.

SOUNDS

The bass can suit almost every style of music, it is still relatively good slap, it has a very, very high output! We have to be careful lorqu'on branch, it will always be stronger than anything you could plug; death metal in it perfectly fulfills its function and even had a tendency to mix too well drilling.
I loved the sonic possibilities of this bass.

OVERALL OPINION

I used two years, only active bass I've ever had.
I like its high output, the incomparable look, versatility in sound.
I do not like the ergonomics dubious and impractical when playing standing.
The quality / price is very good.
I would do this choice without hesitation if I find a 5 string.
