Negens « Machine groover! »
Published on 08/11/14 at 08:14Made in Japan. The version I have is hooped.
The shape is slightly inspired by the Jazz Bass
Mine has apparently undergone some changes.
The bridge mounted on mine is a series of ABM Single Bridge.
The tuners are Gotoh Type
The neck is maple with rosewood fingerboard, bolt-on 5 points, and 24 frets.
The body is alder.
Mine is passive, with 2 EMG humbuckers (originally, it must surely be mounted Seymour Duncan Basslines).
The settings are Vol / Balance / Tone.
It exudes strength! we feel that it is built like a tank and it's made to last.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice louse me. It was not appropriate to its previous owner, hence the acquisition.
Question ergonomics, being inspired by the Jazz Bass, comfort is at the top. Need to reinvent the wheel.
Some say it is not so heavy for a 6 string. Well never having 6 strings before, I can not say, but I can not find light in a vacuum.
It was still quite a bit of wood to carry.
I was a bit unsettled by the spacing of the strings tighter than a 4 or 5 string, and then gradually got used to it.
Access to latest frets is fairly easy. The body has a chamfer at the rear.
Question her, there is a choice between very good and excellent!
A rank in the bass that have character!
SOUNDS
You can play anything with a good bass! Gospel in Black metal.
I play either live my Lexicon audio interface, or in my Gallien-Krueger MB Fusion assistant to a MB410.
To add to what I said earlier; there are two kinds of low:
- Low with few but very versatile character which are excellent tools (I think Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor, the Vigier Excess)
- The bass with lots of character and sounds less varied. (Gibson Thunderbird, Jazz Bass, MM Sterling / Stingray / Sabre).
It belongs to the second category.
The sounds are more side than on the side Jazz Bass Precision. But not easy to define, it has a sound all its own.
A sound that makes you want to groove, to go get lost in the maze of funk / soul / R & B / hip hop.
Slap sound is a treat!
But if you want to rock that task or greasy metal, it's entirely possible! A good bass is still a good bass!
For me, it's perfect!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a good week.
I've owned a dozen bass, have tried a dozen others.
For me, it is among the best bass I've had or tried.
The kind of bass that makes you want to play as soon as you get up in the morning, that will make you late at night because you say, "Ok, one last line before going to bed."
The quality / price is very good. It is also amazing that the low range of the Aria Steve Bailey, is also inexpensive. All because Aria is less prestigious than Fender or Musicman .... Good for me, after all!
Of course it is a choice again!
With that, I return to play.
