«  Second low, why not ... »

Published on 10/06/13 at 05:29
Low PLO (Officialy Licensed Product) 4 passive strings Ernie Ball Chinese manufacturing under license. Brand no longer exists at present.
I use it as a low replacement did not have been able to invest the time in a model a little more upscale.

UTILIZATION

Fairly thick maple keys handle 21 boxes with access to correct acute.
1 MusicMan humbucker type in the bridge position, controlled by three knobs, two volume and tone with the input jack on the front.
Lower overall pretty heavy but well balanced.

SOUNDS

The sound is rather round instead focused rock, pretty typical grain with a high volume of output, due to which Humbucker not send wrong. It holds the road well on the serious and the lower midrange, but do not ask him to do more.
I plugged into a Hartke head, connected to a cab 15 '.

OVERALL OPINION

Useful to compare the PLO with a MusicMan U.S., there is no comparison. I say this because I read a lot about it or confuse the two marks was made a little too quickly. The MM2 is an entry-level office with all the advantages and disadvantages that entails.
Its strong point is probably the sound if it does well on abstraction of a real Stingray. The grain is nice, the overall sound though somewhat limited, is quite rich. To this we can add a distinctive look, a copy of his great American sister, the pretty cool online.
The weak point, the violin. Disastrous mechanical, unable to hold a regular tuning. The knobs that go on vacation one by one, by unscrewing the shaft. The tether strap loses screws and which moreover can not be replaced by a thicker screw if it is to yours. A pickguard that aged badly, plastic with an unfortunate tendency to warp over time.
Many negative points, even at a price of this order are not acceptable.

The final low to be considered but it is not over, for a price that I consider too expensive compared to some models of the same range.
No, I will not repeat that choice at the moment.
