- Channel crossing
- Active EQ (only the version that I have if it is to switch or push-pull active / passive)
- Two Bartolini MK1 pickups, active equalization of the same brand.
- 5 knobs: 1 volume and 4 to sculpt your sound
- A little heavy but still contributes so much wood used for sound angry!!

UTILIZATION

- The handle is excellent, mine was set by a luthier with action strings very close race, that sounds alone, and it is pure pleasure to play on it!
- Access to acute infantile
- Spacing between the strings very correct to slap pretty easy (at the same time I am a guitarist originally, so it helps maybe a little better understanding of the 5 strings!
- Knobs are very responsive, it takes a little time to find THE SOUND you like, depending on your style and your game That said, it is a remarkable versatility, I imagine at ease all styles.

SOUNDS

I play rock and metal, sometimes a little "fusion" and damn it! what a feeling of power, a round, warm, accurate (especially the bass)
I managed to get sounds a little closer "The Clash" sounds closer to those of Tool and Sleeppers. Imagine the range of sound colors available.
Good at the same time I plug in a TECH SANSAMP RBI, it also contributes (I invite you to try this 1U rack preamp handmade in the USA, I challenge you to be disappointed!)

I love everything about this bass, and it is inconceivable to me to change!!

OVERALL OPINION

a MUST have in this type of budget, this budget Ibanez go your way please ....
