Made in Indonesia (it's still vague!)
Copy of the jazz bass 75 '.
2 Duncan Designed pickups seymour jb
vintage bridge
volume for each microphone and overall tone
Vintage mechanical, that take much agreement.
For home against the ropes are not terrible
I found the violin very beautiful.

UTILIZATION

The neck is thin and very easy to play. access to the treble is very satisfactory.
It is taken immediately at hand. The weight is correct for a very low and is not excessive.

SOUNDS

I do not have a bass amp, mas a keyboard amp (Peavey KB60).
The Seymour Duncan Designed original seem a little weaklings in output level. The bridge pickup sounds great, very funky, and restores the good slap. We also have a sound that reminds me of my Ricken 4001. The neck pickup is when its a bit too medium for my taste and lacks bass. The mixture of the two is satisfactory, the tone knob doing a good job.
on the other hand I regret that the buttons are not notched with benchmarks, as we come not to quickly locate a setting, there is no visible indication, always tweak.
To summarize, the bridge pickup is good, and the neck pickup a little disappointing.

OVERALL OPINION

My having been four days.
What I like most c'es its look and handle. Its also pickup anyway.
What I like least is its miro round, lacking in bass, roundness and fishing.
I think it's a great bass that can be improved by changing the original pickups with DiMarzio Jazzbass (150 euros for two), and there will be a "real" jazz bass.
I wanted to buy a bass for a long time, and I had a rather limited budget.
I always crush on the form and its Jazzbass, but it was always a dream. With this Squier, the dream becomes reality (the instrument), and almost a Jazzbass (for audio).
Brief for the price, Jazzbass, there will not better. The Mexican, although more expensive does not exceed it (in my opinion). The Squier is 385 euros, a Southwestern at least 700 euros.
Value / unbeatable price.

Small addition: I plugged directly into my mixing desk (akai mg614) and Parametric EQ fiddling, I get in my Jazzbass SOUND jbl Listens. So the microphones can have the home his Jazzbass, it depends what you plug it into .....
