Made In China
Body: Maple
Neck: maple + 2 slots Ekanga
Rosewood
Hardware: Chrome Warwick
Pickups: JB-type active MEC
Preamp: active, volume, balance, bass, treble, (brand unknown, perhaps MEC but certainly not of the same quality as the warwick made in Germany)
UTILIZATION
The body is thin enough, the rather low light, it is very comfortable to wear.
The interface is very nice you can easily reach all the notes.
The neck is thin enough, very easy to navigate.
Gameplay 100%!
It is easy to get a good sound, but its pretty focused on snapping (see sound).
SOUNDS
This bass suits my style of music, I use it almost exclusively for metal (at least for now). For this style of music I use a very scooped sound, highlighting good slap bass and treble. And indeed it's good this bass gives generously in sharp slap is given its wood (maple).
on the other hand for the sound I put the overdrive on acute, and not that disappointed me, the active pickups enhance some mediums which gave me an overdrive on the low mids, it was BZZZZZZZZZZZZ and I hate that! So I did change the pickups and preamp on the way.
I brought up the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound and Aguilar preamp OBP3.
Result: more buzz more airy and natural sound for microphones, the original preamp was nice but aguilar is so much better, more flexible and subtle.
In this final between Maple and Quarter Pound pickups seymour, this low liberates its really really slamming! At first gr connection in the amp I took a sacred slap dynamics crazy, absolutely terrible aggression. This config would appeal to slapeurs.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had six months basically. Basically I wanted to take a fender Jazzbass mexico 70, but comparing extracts sound, Jazzbass very quickly struck me as sloppy, sluggish, and without a very special grain (for the fender is a shame) She seemed very kind. As against the rockbass surprised me with its accuracy, it dynamic and grain (well less pronounced than that of a real warwick is on). I liked it, and I also wanted to test the active microphones right here now at least I know I'm definitely leaning towards the liabilities.
What I like most about this bass is the slamming and I even accented with new pickups.
The value for money is very good, I think it sounds much better than low "modern" in the same price range.
I think of Ibanez, their bass guitarists are for putting on bass. "The wood is mahogany like guitars so it's good it's going to sound good." Not the final instrument was a drooling, sounds cold (Ibanez manages to make it sound cold mahogany! World champion what!), The knobs of the preamp board are not very accurate, the overall sound is pretty rough , treble "cardboard" and especially without soul, without grain. Here at least the rockbass bah she has a little more personality and definition.
With experience I will opt for the more passive version I think already to see how it sounds, and then if I have to change the email it will cost me less because the passive version costs less base.
