Left-handed bass guitar purchased in 1985. This is a distributed exclusively through a store. The bass has two buttons for volume and tone controls, two microphones and no selector. The instrument was supplied with a cable and a strap.
UTILIZATION
It is as the name implies a copy of a Fender Jazz bass low. So, the ergonomics of the bass is pretty good access to the latest frets quite easy. The bass is especially heavy (well over a Hofner). For my copy, the handle was not completely right, so the strings hooping easily what is really unpleasant. on the other hand there is no possibility to adjust the tussrod the handle and it's pretty annoying if you fret too much bass
SOUNDS
It was necessary to change the default strings (two identical chords) for this bass is playable. I made two visits to the store but it did not disturb the seller.
OVERALL OPINION
I find the value for money rather average. If the bass was not particularly expensive, bass soon proved defective: not straight and round volume knob works only over substance. In the end I regretted my purchase for a first down. To summarize, this instrument is for me the Fourth World of the bass.
----- Edit the 20/04/2010--------------
I have since bought an Epiphone Thunderbird handed in my back left (purchased 2010 does the same price as the price of the Paul Beusher jazz bass copy) and that's all benef
