UTILIZATION

The handle: no speed limit highway
In terms of ergonomics, same PB: 3.9kg - balanced treble accessible. The electronics are active with a passive switch on the volume knob.

SOUNDS

All afternoon and it already sounds! Then his PB without touching anything else the position of the balance on the micro PB. Pushing a little low, it feels like the Wall ... To go on the side of the big rock sound, we balance all the dual HB bridge.
The big plus: the most faithful preamp, no staining, but excellent compression that gives a fabulous potato and sustain the Santana.
Personally, I do not put the volume to more than 80% to avoid a too high level of attack and to enjoy the final adjustments on my compressor pedal.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few weeks. This is my 4th bass (Fender JB, Precision Deluxe, Ibanez ATK), I was looking for an instrument with impeccable violin and its modern and flexible, with excellent preamp: bingo! The quality / price is, there are no worries. In my opinion an excellent bass complete a key set of Fender.
