UTILIZATION

The neck is perfect for me! The interface is really the highlight of this bass everything is good, it is light, well-cut: it "sticks to the belly" the handle is perfect. This is a bass with which you can play longer without burning your hands or the dos.Super access to acute (24 cases) with a good cutting permitted by the neck-through, also excellent for playing accords.On therefore obtained easy to sound good.

SOUNDS

The sound is precise Jazzbass typed with a little more low-medium. The sound is clean, a little too much for my taste. Very suitable for jazz, pop and funk that I play. Active electronics allow it, no doubt, also excel slap.
The output level is that of a passive bass, sometimes some effects have a little trouble hitting the (kind xotix Robotalk).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years now, and this is by far my main bass. It outperforms ergonomics all my previous low and the ones I've tried (except perhaps dingwall.)

What I like least: the glossy black hardware.
