UTILIZATION

This is the handle of Warwick who was really sduit, both in appearance Aesthetics (wood utiliss) than in the comfort and feel of robustness, it is rather flat to the head, s' rounded in the middle and s'applati back to the heel, rather I used to play on the sleeves rather late and I n'eu no trouble adjusting to this type of "big stick" I am, however, more at ease. access to the treble is not probleme.C is a bass that has a small body, rather heavy bomb ncessite quilted strap, the position of microphones encouraged to play near the bridge.
Natural wood finish is REALLY beautiful, but nenmoins fragile, in the absence of varnish very vite.ceci said it marks an interview rgulier a wax gives it protection for "small impact" quite satisfaisant.les potentiometers are really ffective and its beaches is rather flexible orienting to sounds rather mdiums acute percutantes.cette very low output level has a rather powerful transmits faithfully the nuances / Difference of intensity of the game

SOUNDS

The sound of the thumb remains in the bo warwick line with a "grain" particular, we like it or not. me is the power / precision punch and I like that sound, the slap is an area where it excels, it really puts forward mlodiques lines and the rhythm of the game, the game is very fast intlligible (with large bolts is even better). rsolument the sound is "modern" and very rich.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had more than a month and I still pauffiner the rglages (including the level of the amplifier to make the best use of its capabilities). I prefer this bass is his violin and the sound is perfect for my practice at the time (electro jazz) ... however I keep my old copy of precision bass (ibanez roadstar 2 of 1986) for d ' Other styles musicaux.cette worth its price low for notament matrial and manufacturing that has nothing to envy of its competitors across the Atlantic.
relatively low short versatile but has a special character that may be appropriate not to all.
namely: without battery it does not work, even in passive mode ...
