24 frets, ergonomic body design and neat, but flat (not domed like Ergodyne for example), looks very classic and simple.

UTILIZATION

The grip is very nice and natural, for it requires support against strong enough and secure on the frets out a precise sound (it sizzles quickly if you let yourself go, not my non-stick is not twisted;) ). It can be worn as low as high without it poses problems. It is not especially heavy .. classic after all!

Three knobs and three "mixed microphones" (only one, only the other, or 50/50).

Passive.

SOUNDS

I am a bit disappointed with the sound of slapping. I would advise rockers looking for a sound not too round. The treble knob is not acting in the right frequency in my area (too high) but it is a subjective opinion. Otherwise, the three level adjustments compensate for its sound quite a bit "limited".

It also lacks fishing, but that's because I more used to low active.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for four years and I used a lot. I quickly made its sound, and in the end .. it's pretty severe. Put on a big amp it sounds pretty good, but it remains very challenging issue Thurs If you let go it sounds vague. It bothers me a little finger, but other than that I have not much to say .. must say that my Roland DB-700 compensates for a lot its shortcomings. And robustness issue is nickel!
