Ref :031-0400
bass made in China, 20 frets, humbucker equipped with a type PB (split SC P)
rglages: 1 volume knob, 1 Tone.
UTILIZATION
Channel trs enjoyable, easy to play.
However BMOL at Access in acute left hand rests against the body part infrieure when you get to the 12th-14th box.
Nothing to say mchant level of ergonomics: as friendly, reasonable weight.
The bridge and the head are very practical to tune and change strings: no problem.
Is easily obtained provided a good sound to a blunder left hand (-> freeze enough frquent)
SOUNDS
The sounds that can be obtained trs are varied: the sound like "walkin" (tonal 0) trs is satisfactory to play boogie, jazz or reggae. In digging the mdiums on the amp (peavey 20w Microbass in my case) and the Tone Rausser is obtained a more aggressive conducive to slap, pop, and playing the mediator. It is thus more comfortable for the funk, hard and metal.
Also I use the pedals overdrive / distortion PD7 Ibanez for a little fun and do stuff dan muse or the like, a safe bet.
ps: be careful, however, the Tone knob cranked to when playing in the treble, the sound becomes too aggressive and not recomand ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use this bass for 1 year and 1 / 2
J'apprcie its look typical Fender, qualitprix dvastateur report and the quality of its suprieure its competitors (personal opinion). However, the absence of a bridge pickup is felt.
Before buying it I tried the action of cort bass and Ibanez GSR200 (active). Compared to these the two I have no regrets but I will buy again if I were probably the P-Bass Special (Squier) equipped with a micro suplmentaire J-Bass at the bridge, offering more versatility (but CHRE more!)
