Single cutaway bass with agathis body, neck stocky, key rosewood, Bolt 2 Bass Humbucker pickups Wilkinson, 2volumes, Tone 1. The finish is beautiful (see photo) in silver sparkle. In addition, while the back (body + neck + head) is covered perloid the best effect. I do not think it is easy to find in France or Europe, I bought it on the net in USD.
I do not put that 5 because you must know that the big problem of low Italia, and of this model in particular is that the plant is zero rglage: standard buzz on frets 2 Premire , intonation and string mdiocres non RULES (my taste anyway). Aprsrglage (curvature, intonation, sanding of the handle) and assembling strings 55-110, 9-10 MRIT it without problem, but the original is a disaster.

UTILIZATION

The handle (once properly rgl) is a rgal who has hands big enough (the handle is quite round but extrmemnt comfortable). Access in acute is impeccable. The only minor complaint is that the body as small enough, the weight is felt a little on the neck with a fender for example. Drout is in the beginners but also a small APRS rev PERIOD enjoyable adaptation. For rglages, no problem with two volumes and a tone that is at all simple.

SOUNDS

The two played with Digitech pedals, a bass driver (distortion) and a bass synth wah (filter, envelope, octave). RPET in studio, everything is sent in a 450W Ampeg SVT Pro Top and cabinet ampeg 4X10.
The sound is a joy. First, the pickups are silent trs. The Tone plays its role, only the volume control may be improved upon a little: basically, 2positions possible, all or nothing.
With the neck pickup alone (I play almost exclusively as a), the sound is round, fat and hair IDAL for rock. By adding the distortion, we touch perfection. The sustain is not phnomnal but sufficient. With the bridge pickup, all becomes a bit sharper but does not break. The strings of 55-110 certainly affect the overall sound and it seems that the low purr.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this bass for about 2 months and since I have my Squier JB Jett (well I do not used any more). When I try and Reue, I felt like crying because of rglages of origin (see above). But an APRS rglage the hair and a montage of the biggest pulling strings, it is the foot. In addition, the look is top - she really looks more beautiful in real life than in photo. It cost me a total of about 580 euros (low + flight + shipping + taxes + + rglage strings) but I really found the ultimate weapon for the big rock sound. It's on like that with a low, we'll play slap or Korn, but we did not achte a.
[edit 17 March 2006]: APRS several months, I persist and sign. If I could, I would give it 11 without problem.

Bass with agathis set neck, rosewood fingerboard of 22 boxes. It has two humbucker pickups, controlled by two volume and tone. The bridge includes only the narrow part of the micro loan, behind, it's just a decorative plate.
Red glitter finish for the table and pearly everything else (handle included) is superb.

UTILIZATION

The neck is pretty nice over in the mind that p-bass jazz bass, large enough solid with good access to acute.
The ergonomics are quite good, strapped, it does not sting the nose weight is correct without a poods pen.

SOUNDS

This bass has a well rock. The microphone is superb with only one serious body and support in the grave. Both pickups together give a more dug quite nice, the only acute micro seems a little weak. Plugged into an amp all lights, it's pretty fantastic!
However, fans of modern techniques, slap, etc.. go your way. It is suitable for most musicians looking for his roots playing enough fingers or a pick.

OVERALL OPINION

I love the look and finish, I like his sound sixties. That said, I always keep my jazz bass and my accuracy. But I like to change from time to time low, and the Italia offers an alternative.
The price / quality ratio is pretty good for me because I found it used. However I do not know the original price.
With experience, yes I would do this without making choices but my main bass.

To see the features above, but basically in Lower
Agathis body
I think maple neck
Rosewood
With a magnificent imitation of imitation marble light blue on the body the head and the shaft, a pinnacle of kitsch, and a table in silver glitter ....
2 humbucker pickups with two volume type and tone, simple, effective.

For finishes, it's a little hard, but considering the price, you can ask for more? It's difficult parrait

UTILIZATION

Okay so the handle is a Canadian lumberjack version, small pognes refrain, saying that it's massive in bulk, however, is rather enjoyable to play, over time you get tired a bit certainly yes, but it is a matter of habit.
Side weight, it's also lours, there is a question of taste, personally I do not like plastic grat that weigh nothing, I feel I have nothing around the neck, while there to This time I am served my side SM is completely filled, you know you have a grat around their necks and we will be able to return him inside ...
Ergonomics in the set is rather good, access to acute AC drives, the only small problem is, for my part, lack of balance of the creature, once at the end of its strap it tends to sting a little handle side of the nose, the blow must retain a little beast, not the most pleasant.
For his set, nothing more simple, 3 knobs to turn, there has been hardest
In summary dots ergonomics a bit behind, but there is the same, considering the price, you can not ask the moon to do with the few flaws, but it still password more than well.

SOUNDS

So I wanted a low level type of sound, here I am served ...
ROCK AND ROLL!! It sends. Good for rock, so it's deadly, it squeaks, it hangs it fits within, out of happiness. Certainly not everything we nepeut play is more than typical, but then I love, but really. Some ads in a micro rocker not top, I bounced on it and announce the contrary, this submission is more than bad on that side, with a good pick and a good overdrive in front which pummeled the eighth. I think it is a micro histpire setting, mine is really high and the AC sends severe blow. Being a fan of just 11, I am overwhelmed, everything is balanced, say that the buttons are not used to adjust the d & drums but to do his sound, something imoprtante if outset we must begin to turn buttons because raw apple ia does not, then there is a problem. I think it is important to repeat a good set of pickups from the handle and all that kind of thing first.

OVERALL OPINION

This is my fifth base, a bass that I voulias out of the ordinary, I'm thrilled. It complements a Neuser and it's perfect. It is far from being a versatile bass, however, say that's a good bass 2nd.
For me incontestably the most: the sound and mouth ultra maxi kitsch, the less the imbalance.
Regarding the value for money, but purchased from OCCAZ almost new, with bag and rope game nine for 450 euros, I think it's unbeatable, this bass certainly will never be unanimity of JB or PB, but that's what I like, it's so depressing to go into countless stores in Paris and seeing the same stalls before the famous law of fashion, where is the sweet madness that rocked the world of music? Englouttie like many other things in a mass culture that makes us believe that it is enough to keep their hair, wear skinny jeans and bawling to the anglicised on saturated guitars, all in too much more 3'30''to get on the radio ... Since when rock and roll is it subject to a manner and format??
Sorry I digress, yes cete low tear but could be a little better finally. Last doubt about the longevity of the creature with the body agathis which is not the most famous, watch this, but until then it really does ...
