-Made in California, it's written on it: P
A stingray-in design is a precision reboostée twenty years later ... so, a wide and thick neck (the anti-ibanez what), 20 frets, a single micro-micro but what! - anda violin that has proven itself a rugged bridge (made in music man), an ingenious system for trussrod, accessible at the bottom of the key and without necessarily using an allen key. The battery is easily accessible without having to unscrew a plate.
The wood-ah ... it's the wood when I saw the beautiful Maple Neck slightly birdeye I fell in love with this bass! The body is probably alder, is fairly lightweight.
-Settings: the top of simplicity: a volume, and active equalization, which is that I hardly touch the amp (unless it is rotten). Three knobs: acute, medium, serious. Simone and car.
UTILIZATION
-Handle: if you like that style, you can not ask for more. But as the instrument in general, despite some versatility, an instrument with a strong personality can not please everyone! In short, if you like 36mmm at nut, go your way. Sustain impress me, my strings have two years, and although they lost in brightness, the sound is always ...
-Access to acute: it means, "vintage" we would say-precision reference to oblige. Personally, it does not bother me, I find ample. But as I said above ...
-The general ergonomics broadly satisfies me, it is well balanced, it is a pleasure to handle. The weight is average, I had more light, but I frankly had heavier! (Old information just for example)
-A good sound? Sound good? It's a silly question! ^ ^ The microphone is a treat: a peach, a grain recognizable now, but very manipulable: Active equalization is very effective in two rounds of knob you go from flea to Duck Dunn (either give it away to the docks of the bay), through the pantera ...
-The high frequencies are handled with care, they can be boosted too very noisy. low set everyone agree, if you need resume in disaster after your solo accompaniment lens, a shot and you're back BassBoost the perfect rhythmic foundation. The mediums are used primarily to supplement the sound or rather to dig the slap for example. They give back a little heat, and even if it will not sound Pastorius, the stingray is not only a rock machine: you can play more jazz rock stuff.
-In short, the microphone is never at fault, the humbucker provides a gain equal no matter what, and battery level is very simple!
SOUNDS
This low-is both very typical and very versatile: it can be seen in the death metal like reggae!
-I have not had a chance to test it on the amp worthy of the name for now, but even a 20 watts it sounds already the fire of God! I think it's also meileur test, a quality amp can be too flattering.
-Ah, I want to say that I'm sick of reading instrument is a "versatile" in English it means certainly versatile, but in French versatile has a pejorative sense: it means who does not know what it wants! Heck at the end!
OVERALL OPINION
-What can I say? I was lucky to come across a great opportunity in 2000, and even if others make me feel low, it will always be my favorite! It dates from the first half of 1997, I intend to do a party for his ten years ... ^ ^ It ages very well and sounds better and better!
Nothing, nothing, nothing to regret!
