I have the MODEL of the previous gnration identical in every point exept the microphones that are better on this one (EMG select)

She is 5-string configuration, 2 humbucker.

The bridge is the patented Steinberger by: easy to adjust, changing strings and tunings 2 min ultra simple. there have no equivalent elsewhere.

Independent volume controls for 2 microphones and overall tonal: simple and effective, it does not rotate in space as with certain gas works ;-)

is a 24 frets with a pitch of 34 inches. standard 18 mm space between the strings. comfortable and soft with a varnish correct.

UTILIZATION

The handle is well made, it is a good compromise between the sleeve vintage not seem to match the modern style (although it's a personal point of view) and the sleeves that give TGV cramps.

The access to conplet is acute and I use the entire range of the instrument with ease (and I am a very modest amateur)

SOUNDS

The instrument has a real personalis sound like my Ergodyne, but his versatility is exemplary. I play such important jazz progressive rock, some funk and metal ;-)

I usually connects to my harkte 3500 or directly into my preamp / multiFX BP 200.

the sound is warm without being mushy, full and defined harmonics, slap the brilliant but never aggressive. That said the sound is a complex chain from fingers to pregnant through microphones, preamps, cables, amps and sometimes minds ;-)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for over two years (purchase 05-2002) and I will not change it. A colleague introduced me to the new model (> 2003) and the sound even more fishing. (Thank you EMG) I have the opportunity to touch a lot of instruments because of my profession (assistant - ing according to the c) c and for the price a bargain. I'd pay 780 euros at the time. (Catalog price of 900 euros)

I intend to keep it and I recommend it to all those who want a 5 string tater easy, reliable and price.
