Value For Money :
Excellent
I have the 2009 model, just after it was written above yds (probably stories of lawyers ...).
Basswood body, rather unusual for the style (use this wood for Ibanez RG's) and my faith very relevant.
The neck is fairly wide, promotes accuracy, and its profile is not too big D stamped on the rounded, surprising at first, but comfortable.
Gibson is not typed at all anyway.
Emg hz passive pickups, excellent, and can be modif splitter through every son is there. I did it for the neck pickup for that matter, very interesting for its clear.
Two volumes, I Choute tone to put the split micro serious.
What is good with two volumes is that you can preset a crunch sound with the neck pickup (flight 3) and full distortion sound with the treble and switch from one to another with the selector of one stroke of one!
Cool with a dual channel or mono amp.
UTILIZATION
The handle is comfortable to play very long, and passes much of his body. It is further strengthened on the back of the head during a fall is so valuable.
The weight of my vig, with a tremolo lestrem2, is 4130grammes (weighing bag type air ...) just 200 fewer than the original at first glance.
Good standing as sitting balance, but it's still heavy (my Lag Roxane 500 weighs only 2700 grams!), And it sounds elsewhere.
My model had the frets perfectly finished, which was not true of two other store so choose well considering the price of the maker.
The sound is splendid dry, not very balanced coincoin, notes fuse funk and rhythm are super stitched.
SOUNDS
Trendy it is confirmed, splendid clear sound and distos are both free, although seating and airy. Very good microphones, in any case much better than my seymour Roxane (SH4-sh1n) in that they have grain and extent, even splitted.
That said, it is normal with a short scale bass are less sturdy than my late baja telecaster for example, as far as the bridge tune-o-matic does not offer any opportunity to detune the guitar in D (If you want to play the harmonics). Therefore mandatory standard tuning except yourself.
This guitar likes to go straight into the amp, the multi-effects are not his thing too, because altering the character of the mics too.
I love a clean sound (reel handle side only), and distos out very well too.
OVERALL OPINION
I mounted a tremolo design, lestrem2 of curiosity, and although interesting I'll give the origin because rod bother me much.
In short this vig is well on its own, just for a split micro serious and it's perfect!
At this price level is staggering, far above epi-squier-harley-coxx and company.
This is not the same approach (cheap copy of an original is not so bad after all), it is a coherent and reasoned choice. We guess a team of designers who really understand something ...
A remake, I rush with your eyes closed (but open toes to feel the frets ...)!
