Play this classic Vibe is very nice for those who love handles logging! Good thing is my case c
Accustomed to Musicman, the change does not feel ...
Bass holds the road well, acceptable weight, the handle is comfortable to play, access to acute nickel is even if the hand rub a little on the frets ....) and the sound is spectacular!
I was looking for a sound of old school and I have found to € 416!
As incredible as it may seem, this bass cheap made in China sounds as good or even better than a Fender Precision (1400 €). I tested both and I was bleuffé!
It must be admitted, the Chinese are now producing very good products in musical instruments. You just have to overcome the prejudices that is all ...
Knowing Fender reputation, this classic Vibe to a master volume and tone volume as a normal accuracy. C is ... and it is more than enough because we immediately get a sound more convincing!
Perfect for use as I wanted
There is just one small problem, when playing seated work for his songs, the bass tends to drag but the problem is solved when we play with a strap or standing
SOUNDS
To play the classic Motown repertoire Vibe is perfect when set fully into the grave and its deliciously retro look it seems to be part of the legend!
You can play the same rock, it sounds like hell by digging in the midrange! Blues soul filled book this low loads and not be ashamed before his big American sisters!
My model has a Fiesta red finish, color that drew her to me any more than that and I admit that over time, I'm used to my and now I l love it!
I climbed ropes nets dishes to give even more softness in the sound and it sounds fabulous!
OVERALL OPINION
To confess all, I'm not a fan of Fender Squier and even less and yet, wanting to play standard Motown for my BassCovers, I realized that I had a sound of my old school modern low could offer me.
I use my little Classic Vibe past few months with a MarkBass MicroMark home and I confess that I love the old school sound with which I can play big task blues, soul, groove rock ... is obtained immediately an interesting sound in the style that we play and I love the simplicity!
Over time I do not know what it will be worth because I think the jack is a little light and fragile, but seems to me making sure, no problem.
Maybe she lacks a bit of potato, low passive forces, but this is what I wanted.
In short it is a product I highly recommend to all those who want the sound of legend without breaking the bank! In addition, this bass look fabulous
