Value For Money :
Poor
This is a Japanese factory in Japan. Brand no longer exists, having burned the factory in the late 80s
4 string bass headless, with tuning at the bridge (very accurate). 22 frets. 2 single-coil pickup with active electronics (equiliseur 4 bands), 3 coaxial knobs: volume, tone, bass, mid-bass, mid-trebble, trebble and micro selector
UTILIZATION
The handle to the origin resembles that of a Fender Precision, I did get to refine a shape close to that found on recent Japanese models.
SOUNDS
It does not sound that is clean or specific him. For sound is what you want ... From large well rounded sound Jazz Bass Jaco ... We chose or microphones, we fiddled the equalizer and it's magic.
OVERALL OPINION
When I bought it, I wanted a bass that sounds but not only. It should be light and have a nice look and then a low "headless" It was very swank (ca and the rest elsewhere!). But between the Hohner cheap but without sound, and Steinberger overpriced, there was Riverhead. Thunderbolt was immediate.
When I took the bass there two years, the shape of the handle was really uncomfortable compared to the most recent low. A small passage luthier to refine (more aesthetic mod to remove her 80s look) and the magic again! With a gain sustain crazy ... Even the maker does not understand why.
It is and will remain my favorite instrument, but if it is not made to slap ..
