A small low 24 Surra manufactured freight in China, it has a micro-type Jazz Bass and Precision Bass type. 3 buttons: two volumes, one tone ...
Clarification, I do not think I have seen in other reviews, the handle is in two parts which is a bit cheap (you already asked me why I wanted to cut my neck!), However it does not interfere not the game
The knobs seem fragile, but at the same time I still had no problem with.

UTILIZATION

The neck is rather thin, rather short and pleasant. S'écarteler not need to access the first cargo.
The access is easy to acute, more bass is pretty nice (at least from my point of view) and light (he must want to have a bad back!).
If you like small nipples (or you just guitar), this low-level ergonomics suit you, but again all tastes are in nature. Personally I find it enjoyable, even if I take more pleasure when I play on a Washburn friend (but this may be the sound of ...).

SOUNDS

The sound, just y. .. Well Stagg is no miracle, bass sound for its price. The variety of sound is not huge and the volume is really low. I used to like low LEARNING (I borrowed a washburn for repeated and concerts) and I was delighted, this bass is great for home play and learning: The sound is nice, not necessarily very warm but not cold either. However it is limited to be played in groups (because of low output level), the bass lacks a bit of potato. I play in a ska-punk and I would like a more punchy and warm.
Well it is true that I plugged into the PA without preamp or DI and it should play a bit, does it day and night with my washburn saxophonist (but at the same time, it is not the same price!), to hear the bass you have to push the volume. Otherwise I go bass in the compressor and noise gate (essential) from my GT-3 and its apparent good, yet we still lose in quality.
In short I would say 7 / 10 for someone who plays alone and does not need a battery cover while keeping his own.
4 / 10 for group play plugged directly into a PA system (and yes when you are poor it has no bass amp !!!).

However, I will buy a small pedal behringer preamp DI to see if it improves the sound and playability of the lower group. I'll keep you posted.

edict: With the case of Behringer bass has a much better sound: more serious, more rounded ... She even served at enresgistrer the model group.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for about a year. But the bass is 2 years since I bought it second hand. I love his little neck and her little weight, I also love to play alone in my room with or without effects ... I like less fishing and its lack of precision when it comes to group play.
I already play on my bass saxophonist (who is the former bassist), Stagg is the first storm but it is way above his Washburn (which costs more than double the Stagg), d 'Elsewhere I still use the Washburn for concerts.
The value for money if it is interresting to purchase (200 euros house, strap and 20-watt amp) and I do not regret my purchase (although I think to buy me a new low when the I means), but I would not put 200 euros to buy a new one!
