My thumb is an Old Thumb made in Germany, 1987, just before leaving the new thumb.
Thus, the bridge is one piece, not two like on the news.
electronics, where I bought it (used), consisted of a preamp-type sugar with a low EQ / treble knob on the same (stack bottom), a balance between the two pickups (EMG dd) and volume.
I did change the electron by a very good luthier (whose workshop is in the hole of the world c. ... it is fitted with an electronic "EMG BQC Control" which allows for an equalization HIGH / LOW a button, a parametric mid on the middle button, and finally a button (stack, push / pull) which provides the overall volume, the balance between the two pickups (duncan hot Semour Jazz bass) and allows to switch from active passive mode of the equalizer.
With this configuration, the sound palette is huge.
For 20 years I practice the bass, I never find as versatile bass (the only one I tried, which had a very close range but less hot, was a Musicman Sterling).
through the handle and driver is good vibes
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice for me. besides, I do not understand the reviews I read about it ...
defects: - I think the frets (jumbo) agree a lot, so I use dish net ropes, which accentuates the roundness and reduces the effect of the frets.
- The weight of the beautiful (or beast) is therefore wood density has much to do.
SOUNDS
I currently play at home on a Peavey TKO 75 ing I just repair the cabinet avit who took a shot of moisture (I replaced the foam membrane located at the magnet by a fiber washer that are found with small portable grinder accessories and Miracle ... the sound grain but more saturated). Before servicing this combo I connected a head harkte HA 3500 VX 450 and speakers of the same brand (which I welcome as Polly).
OVERALL OPINION
In short, this is three years since I played this bass, dreams (considering the price) came true and I have not found better (I no longer there ... sniff).
