5-String Neck Through Made in Korea 24 fret long scale 35 '24 medium frets 3-band active preamp 18v, micro balance, master volume switch and active / passive, two compartments for batteries and Table flamed maple back (low-end .. .) Comes with D'Addario Electronics is reinforced graphite bomb

UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant and rather late for that price, accessibility to acute impeccable. Weight 4.8 kg (asser heavy) and unbalanced (pic of the head), I think a form that would have brought the attachment of the strap to the 12th fret instead of 13th would have solved the problem partially mechanical are accurate and easy tuning of the bridge Régalge easy access. Another plate for the stem of the handle ... that hides the painted drooling ... Nevertheless it seems to be dealing with a true bass and not a toy. The game is easy action can be set very low (suggesting that the mapping is pretty good) Another thing a bit disappointing after barely a month I already see a beginner fret wear ...

SOUNDS

The sound is nice, but the sustain is incredible lack of clarity on whether and low C As the background noise becomes audible frankly when you push the active eq in the treble. The microphones pick up a lot of interference when approaching electrical appliances (this is surely double or single coils very low end) An adjustment of the frequency of mediums would have been nice, however the margin of change is very important and it is a formable wish. Also no tone control in passive mode. It happens quite easily get the sound you want with this bass, I rarely need to touch the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 month Pros: The price, design, violin, woodwinds, sustain impressive versatility Cons: electronics and low-end microphones, unbalanced finish Approximate Purchased 349 euros. At this price there is no other bass has features such but we feel that the economy has been done on the electronics and materials. has flamed maple of the name (it is far from a timber of choice). Nevertheless it takes fun from the first contact. A good first 5 cord for those who want to feel the low B without breaking the bank. Change the electronics can be a good idea ...

Edit from 14/06/2010
I défrettée, oiled down the coup that has become almost as black as ebony. I find her more beautiful like that. Some who saw me playing with thought it was a bass luthier! Definitely the handle is very Cosy and very fast. And still sustain this impressive. I changed the pickups to Bartolini humbuckers with passive switches mounted coils. The original pickups are really soft and lacking in precision even with the help of electronics. The Bartolini really make a difference, the sound is deep, powerful, accurate and current. With other microphones is a new low. With prices BARTOS we reach more than 600 euros, and finally the instrument was an instrument pertinant ...
