Value For Money :
Excellent
Manufacture Corenne
-24 Frets, 2 soapbar pickups (Mighty Mite DX5, since replaced by EMG 40 HZ)
2-pr-amp tone (bass and treble) balance a one volume, active (since I changed the pre-amp for Delano)
Body-stocky, round conductor (through body) in saddle and wenge, rosewood fingerboard (rosewood). Wood is beautiful, the finish is satin, the violin is good trs.
Round-asymtrique
UTILIZATION
As said before, the handle is a highway: the varnish is ultra slippery, soft and quick trs.
The handle is not too big and suitable for little fingers! CHAC is excellent for acute because of the dcoupe body.
The body is comfortable trs: everything falls under the fingers, the arm moves naturally good. The whole thing is a bit dsquilibr to the head but nothing mchant.
It is played trs seated and standing it up perfectly.
SOUNDS
I play pop, rock, blues, funk and on Hartke HA 3500 Hartke XL cabinet (aluminum CNES), no effects (putting a hand to the bassball c..!)
I have to change the pre-amp for Delano 2 Tone / balance / volume switch ALM. I changed the pickups for EMG as 40Hz to gain even more precision.
So the sound is poustouflant: the bass is deep and ultra round and treble can be slammin wishes ...
The range of sound is trs varies: the bright funky blues good round, it excels everywhere.
It also marvel slap but I do not master this technique enough to rate a more prcis.
OVERALL OPINION
It is 1995, but I bought it for OCCAZ in 2000.The quality-price ratio is excellent.
What I like most is the comfort of this low since the change of pre-amp and microphones, sound and sustain are truly staggering on this bass. The sound is the gently: there's more that give the groove ...
For me the change pramp (or microphones) is an obligation on the bass. Under this condition we get a real bomb for a small fee (the srucout is approximately 150 200 euros) ...
Note: The microphones can be changed by EMG 40 HZ or Bartolini M44 or Bartolini CF4 CBC best (but expensive). Pramp for a delano (or agilar) is IDAL.
Note: t brand Tobias bought by Gibson in the 90s and beginners it is not marketed in France.
Finally, I do it again without hsiter this choice: it's not rev high end but for a versatile bassist amateur is the best choice, plus a look that is changing the traditional fender.
