«  Superb instrument »

It is a replica of the paper Rickenbacker 4001 made in the 70's or 80's in Eastern Europe.

The violin is very healthy, manche through three fold.

2 microphones: a P Bass at the neck, the Jazz Bass type bridge (it differs by the Rick) with volume and tone for each, and a microphone selector 3 positions.

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice, very good ergonomics. It has a muzzle handy

Access to acute is good, and the sound is quick to get it and it sounds branch.

SOUNDS

That's where it's interesting! This is different from the Rickenbacker which it is based to look. The sound is medium, almost to the micro Hofner P Bass. With flat nets is downright retro and thick, with beautiful soft bass and treble.
The bridge pickup is sharper, I think it would be appropriate for the slap, but I do not practice too much. on the other hand to pick a punk record that does well as

Basically this is a good bass to play a little retro pop, or more grimey stuff, punk and rock.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had almost a year now, and I played a lot of other basses, P Bass, J Bass, Hofner Club, Violin, vintage and modern.

This is really interesting for the price at which it is found (ca. 400/500 euros) and goes out of the game in an original and engaging.

The value is good, it is very well built and really indestructible!
