Bantam XB series
Active bass made in Korea, the mid-90s.
4 strings
24 frets
2 microphones Washburn Humbuckers series WB940
Maple neck
Alder body
4 settings (low, acute, volume, volume balance between the pickups)
We feel the quality.

UTILIZATION

This is a low light with a long handle end.
It is easy, fun to play.
It does not quickly disrupts what is really a nice surprise.
Very suitable for fast gaming.
However I occasionally occur on the micro tape when I play. Should be noted that I do the strings for more distance between the strings and the pickups.

SOUNDS

Thanks to its wide range of settings, we can already travel in a wide range of sounds.
It has fishing and nature in its innocent.
Can get a round and warm like climbing in acute and dry.

OVERALL OPINION

I have the XB400NM (Natural Matte).
This is the kind of bass you would bet that not one euro and yet it is an outsider.
Beautiful aesthetic, balanced, fun to watch.

I bough this bass at a local music shop to upgrade from a Peavey Patriot, I paid US$270
and I really believe it is worth every penny

For starters I love the red see through finish, the neck hasnt warped or moved in the 3 years I have been playing it

The electronics are not very good, about a month after I bought it they sounded crackly, but I got that fixed. But you dont have much good tonal variation, you have a really nice deep sound and when you try to ged a little more mids, you end up getting way too much trebble

The construccion is really sturdy, like I said have been using it for about 3 years and it has held up playing gigs every week.

I believe it is the most reliable bass in its category.

UTILIZATION

The handle fits me perfectly, fast and precise.
access to acute nikel, but it is true that for the ring, sometimes it's easy ps!
you can get good sound, but on some frets ca vibrates, I did settle, but it makes me always does a little bit, but that consensus on the amp so it goes.
she goes to slap my bass teacher (who sold it to me) is trying to buy me every time that I was ready!

SOUNDS

No style of music, but it's going for just about everything.
I use a Fender Rumble 100.

OVERALL OPINION

It is not far off a year that I have now.
I like its shape, and this is my first bass so between us There's a great story!
is one of the only models I had the opportunity to try up to now.
quality price ratio, bah ca depends how much you offer me, I bought 150 of OCCAZ PRAF and is in condition, I did a wholesale business mga!
Not a fault, I made the right choice, and if you must, I do it again!

Corenne to Bolt trs enjoyable (end).
24 frets
2 active pickups
Washburn aluminum easel.
1 rglage theft, a serious, a needle selector 1 low / med / aig
The look is unique, to love (and oversized horn suprieur rocker n'apprcie that not all stands) but hey, there's not that the Jazz Bass in life to get out ... !

UTILIZATION

The freight AIGS in the extreme + are not empty do "sound" but no problemo if proper technique.
But at gunpoint, c a pleasure.
Not too long, especially lgre, it should all sizes, men and women.
The sound is easy to find ds when we know what we want. Indeed, its capabilities go far in the spectrum depending on the style of music we play and rendering being sought.

SOUNDS

A little goes everywhere even if far from the quality Jazzbass (for versatility).
Trs comfortable on the mtal or hard rock. A little more limited in serious piece funk. Some work as well for balance AIGS and serious for the slap.
DEFINITIONS It is more comfortable on all that smack of the active pickups give excellent results.
Fusion, Heavy, Groove without PB. Jazz Funk and vintage banned on pain of nerve in the pursuit of his ultimate.
Mias must take an instrument according to what he can make, we will not attempt to play trombone with a cello!

OVERALL OPINION

Rgulire use for 2 years.
Strengths: The active pickups Washburn, quality price ratio, its happening throughout fiddling a bit and made good after the amp.
Weakness: lack of roundness in the bass the most extreme.
Every time I try to tip in the hardware store. If the seller sees it and tries, he always tries to want me back, without seeming to ... but it is the well l.
Buy new 335 euros (2,200 francs the era) and is 6 years in its cover, for me, objectively, in terms of markets and competitors in its class, it's worth more. Mine is in perfect state.
Instrument mconnu but acknowledged more n'tant manufacture, hill climbs ...

Lower Korean

24 frets, 2 humbuckers active Washburn preamp

Brass easel type Schaller

Bolt thin, solid alder body

UTILIZATION

Handle extremely pleasant. can play quickly and without fatigue.

Easy access to acute.

Lower average weight, easy to carry, well balanced

The sound is its strong point: large output level and chattering sounds great. Ideal for slap and fusion. Its always very clean.

SOUNDS

I found this bass soon after its release in late 90s.

I've done many concerts and studios with him.

It is perfectly in keeping with my style (slap)

Its very punchy and never too serious.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 years.

Sound and look are the elements I like.

I tested many other models before buying but no even twice as much had his character.

Excellet QPR

Low chances but is expensive in price. I had several bid but I wish to part with it.

Therefore made in Korea / 24 frets / Bridge Washburn good (sounds like a Wilkinson reinforced?) / Pickups: Dual Humbucker (no notion of the Washburn brand surely?) / Settings: 4 volume knobs == 1 / 1 setting acitf / passive fader / balance a microphone bass / treble / balance a knob for serious ... acute. Moreover very versatile!
I wish I had a switch to switch between active rather than passive knob (for the volume it's dual use ??!!).

UTILIZATION

Channel: As described below, is a highway! In fact it is quite wide at nut (40 mm approx.). Paradoxically it is easier to play a jazz bass neck (38 mm at nut) ... Surprising? Yeah I know! But I prefer to handle this than my jazz bass classic! So ... To access the treble: AR! Unless there are more boxes if the universe has P-bass and Jb! Otherwise, it's still in the stadard access to acute! Sound: easy to get! Just know what you want!

SOUNDS

Then there is the key! say that I had heard that this bass lacks "serious" ... Um Frankly I do not! With the preamp tech, Vol same, and the equation well regulated, well we have a big bass sound very deep, which can beat up if desired! So the crystal clear sound, Heu / / / Yes I think too! This bass makes me think of a bass studio: no breath (humbuckers !!!), large output level (ideal for sending potatoes on stage with powerful notes very accurate), accurate, comfortable, fast, etc.. ..

Since I, it replaces my bass fetish progessive (JB) to work and repeated ... I took it on a whim because it was green (I love color ...) And in the end it's a big revelation!
The type of instrument on which one would not bet a Kopek, and then ... a lil miracle happens: we love!

It's easy to play bass una, light (more than my pretty !!!), JB (must love the look but hey ...), sending big time with a precision of hell! I love!

In defects: stack accessible through a hatch screwed (shame!) / Look older / Must be set to sound know! / Crachotent knobs that time (like all vintage how low!).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently, and I was passive bass pro, I begin to change my tune ... I admit that for the price it was a bass that looks a bit like a Warwick in terms of sound: strong / hot / powerful / "Original"

For the price it's really an interesting alternative! But it is better to make sure everything is functional before it cracked!

Go for it ...
