Punks not dead Punks not dead
Published on 07/07/08 at 07:34
Lower Korean I think. at around 20 frets to the origin. The body is alder I think, and chipboard table. The key, rosewood very low end. the key is made of wood very fragile limit rotten. Bridge type JazzBass. 3 pots: a what I've seen the original, there are two general tone and volume of 500k. The one I own has been completely transformed by my hands: change pots, microwave, unshrinking, opening ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is really not pleasant, it is not very thick, but large, impractical. The access to acute is not terrible, uncomfortable. The key is flat.
In weight, I admit, it is light but it's normal since that is how the body.

It is fairly well balanced. Body shape is roughly a fender PB, the body design is pleasant, comfortable.
The sound, I know, I changed the pickups and the pots.

SOUNDS

It's a crappy original, rather his rocker, with a normal type micro Precision bass, but can be obtained with the combination of PB and JB micro approaching sounds of blues, funk, jazz, especially fretles mode.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently, a friend give it to me for me to retype, I have almost everything over again, now it is fretless, the level of acute frieze over it, at any point, it does frieze is that I took special care to sand down .. I like anything except that it is fretless, but otherwise it's a low shit, if you buy new, get ready to you sucider! on the other hand, if you changed it you may get a much better bass and much more interesting that initially (but it will remain shit). The only point where it is practical is that it's a low extraordinarily effective in respect of the experimental (everyone says), otherwise, first bass, I recommend starting with her, it gives not want to play, except on biensur if you find one that has been modified correctly, carefully, so here you can find her good qualities but enough crap to know and love tinkering. With the changes I make, it is better than it could be in its infancy. It has no potential

But bought new, it is clearly the shit like bass!

DO NOT BUY
