everything is already said much better than I could say so hush hush, I am silent on that.
It should be noted that I put on 10/10 at this part, which means that I find mega deadly.

UTILIZATION

handle: cool cool cool, it changed me handles jazz bass that I played before, but within hours it became natural enough to forget about it.
the scope of the button is painted a few grumpy bitch. I'm typing I think it is nice and comfortable. access to acute: ben in fact, it's rare that a low access to treble is fair game, because otherwise it would not sell. and there is like everywhere, the question does not arise, we'll play all the notes you want without worry. WINS EASILY BE A GOOD SON? yeah, you doing all the knobs at the bottom, the switch in the middle and you take a big fat mediator, obviously that's where it's fun.

SOUNDS

I do stuff like post punk / new wave / / cold wave / / zouk / / rock wanker to franz ferdinand, to caricature a bit, so obviously it works great. I'm ringing it on all tube Bassman 1969. it a little crunch and it's cool, that's all I ask.
On a SVT-CL it works really well too, you know the sound rick, you know its the SVT-CL, so you mix and stir you, it always gives a semi-soft. Like some kind HIWATT heads or marshall 100w tube guitar, it holds the road well. On the transistor, I can not say too much, I tried a Fender combo that sounds like ... Finally, what you see, like a transistor combo fender, it sounds but it can not help to try a pedal.

So all the knobs at the bottom, the switch in the middle of the strings not too flushed, a pick, stiff and it makes the medium thoroughly, it's been crying girls and boys so it's cool.

OVERALL OPINION

I sold a vintage jazz bass american from 62 to buy it. I have not plugged into an amp the day I bought it, I told myself it was not worth it. I was right you tell me, I think I grilled a dozen people who were on the waiting list but the seller has not solved the waiting list, and besides he was in the dough rabe on my jazz bass, which is a party in 2 days.

basically, the 4003 arrived at 9am at the store who was waiting for more than a year and a half, at 10:30 I had purchased. so she remained in store for 1:30, not bad already, there are places where it does not take as long as that.

experience with this choice I would do without hesitation, plus I've chopée black, so it's great.
Value for money: I paid 1600 €. a fender us vintage is more expensive than that in France, and I find downright worse. must know what you want, I wanted a 4003.

I was joking to make a Pearloid pickguard on that make it fun on stage with lights and it makes shit purists. and it works.
