French manufacturing by christian noguera
mine is a special model that I built to order: a double coil Bartolini, reversing a series / parallel / single coil and three knobs: volume, treble and bass (active with 9V battery accessible by removing the back plate .
By pulling on the volume knob, one is passive (without battery)
handle end, but feasible, key wenge. Oiled bubinga body in the most beautiful effect

UTILIZATION

Handle easily, with 24 cases available through the cutting of the body that is a model of ergonomics and aesthetics (it is necessary to look back, it has a great line)
ergonomics, light and well balanced

SOUNDS

Played alone, she has an absolutely amazing with his breath NO from the preamp, which is rare, even in the more expensive brands. no buzz either, even in single coil.
In training a little noisy, it can be difficult to cross the mix but it is true that I use the old strings.
get with it sounds both round and warm but precise. This is a very good compromise for those who want sound to be versatile with a main tone. In parallel, a sound but not too dug for slap (rather than stanley marcus), single, is entitled to treble the present without aggression, and in series, it gives off full price

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 2001. I use it a lot at home and recording. On stage, I play with a few chainsaws and I rather use musicman and Vigier.
The sound and the concept of approaching a few of Warwick, but with an original grain.

I think part with it soon for a 5 string model of the same maker.
