This is a 5-string bass Headless manufactured by the German Andy Schack. And since all that is German, and it is the srieux trs well finished.
It's heavy but low enough to balance well trs possde 25 frets. The pitch is important since it plutt 36 inches, but allows the bass to have a trs good sustain. In this version the handle is saddle and non-carbon as is often the case on the MODEL. As a result, the sound is more rounded and slightly less mtallique.
The original pickups and electronic signs are basstec (microphones home Schack). The pickups are kind of jazz and electronic bass is equipped with 5 rglages: volume, balance, treble, and mdiums serious. However I have adapted a set Bartolini (microphones and prampli) which suits me better and I think that allows to operate a little better the natural sound of the bass.
Strings, also brand Schack, double strings are good quality balls trs.

UTILIZATION

The neck is relatively thin and trs enjoyable. Access in acute is smooth. The weight of the relatively low consquent but quickly forgotten with a good strap. The advantage of the length of the pitch changes during a inconvnient Thurs The notes are quite tough nut to get tired quickly and arm. And it is more difficult with small size hands as I do. But with Entran, everything passes.

SOUNDS

The sound is good cause. The corrections are offered by electronic efficient trs. The bass sounds clear and possde crystal clear sound that lacks a little warmth in my opinion. which is why I opt for microphones and electronic Bartolini. Nanmoins, the pickups are original high quality dj. Deep bass treble incisive but not shrill and clear mids well doss.
The sound is versatile and can fit a wide range of music.

OVERALL OPINION

I possde this low for at least ten years. I have often wanted to change it but I never found elsewhere this ease of play you can have with this bass. The handle is for nothing.
Ct the least cool is to get balls of double strings for this size of fork. I said: "It's almost not found". However, there are original to the low vis a system that can adapt to almost any strings Extra Long Scale trs and works well.
I bought some 1800 euros prs what seems correct compared to the same low price range today.
If c'tait again, I do not know. Anyway now, I would have trouble selling it, is a sr!
