Value For Money :
Excellent
Precision Bass Made in China
Micro Precision split in the middle, simple micro Jazz bridge (This is the PJ)
1 volume 1 tone more micro, jack on the edge of the body
Fixed bridge over strings, late model.
The body is real wood, alder. No shielding micro cavities.
Striped maple neck too little knotty, I was expecting less at this price, we see that this is not the maple ultra homogeneous a U.S. but really not bad. Rosewood, it's downright good, dark, uniform, clearer chouilla and a bit more of a rosewood pores over hand, good surprise. The points are so shell with plastic, not bad also.
The frets are smooth on the sides, well polished, the key is very good quality.
Open low mechanical kind, which are not those of the closed affinity precision.
The Silet is white plastoc.
In the end the price is really worked, it was worth the money and even more.
UTILIZATION
We arrive at the cheap side, the instrument is set wrong or not.
The bridge is OK.
The handle on the other hand, after tuning ca frieze dru, strings tappent frets.
Adjustable truss rod to correct AC and then the head of the screw is not centered on his home in the woods, I miss hex allen head screw up. So agrandisssement with a wick drill turned by hand and small round file. After 20 minutes and a few chips and sawdust my head truss rod is easily accessible hole aligned.
I loosened one turn and a half to two days.
The is very good. The bass is lighter, a guitar heavy ash.
The sound is good for what I know of bass pickups, the precision snores, jazz slap.
I guess the beginner get this low, it will go through a shop that can do the job.
SOUNDS
I am a guitarist, so no strong views on the subject. The sound is no surprise, it's good, I only tested on my iPad, no bass amp in hand, he will listen to true if for example it does not buzzes too.
I took it as a basis for mod micro frankly right now I do not see why change.
OVERALL OPINION
Bought three days ago in Thotho, perfect packing, 258 € with cover home and Ernie Ball strap, this bass is a good deal.
The violin is good, far beyond what might be expected at this price.
As against the handle is adjustable to resume fully, beginners in the field focus, through a mag or a luthier.
