Made in Indonesia
24 frets, fast neck
Active Electronics
Bartolini active pickups X2
Volume, balance, and 3 knobs Middle Bass Trebble + switch
Neck through, varnished, beautiful finish.

Edict of 25/07/10: electronics is 100% active. So when the battery is out of order, .... more sound! The switch is available does not save you in the middle of a concert: it gives the choice between active pickups Active EQ WITH or WITHOUT EQ! This allows for 2 different sounds immediately at hand. But this bass is not passive.


UTILIZATION

Channel end Intercord reduced space, so slap sometimes difficult (9 / 10). In contrast, fluid, solos, tapping welcome. Full access to treble.
The active electronics allow all sounds, from Blues to Metal!

SOUNDS

All sounds available, but with one constant: it growls loud, and all the bass vibrates well. I play on all amps in the studio, and Ashdown Mag 300 Evo II (with a 15 ") at home. It is crystal when it is necessary, and very heavy, with a powerful growl + a useful power for huge pieces bastonnent strong.

Edict of 25/07/10: his side, she served in the recording studio (Neve Genelec + ...) directly in the table with a DI box: Its HUGE! The bass rumbles, while being clear ..... excellent sound. I buy it back safely!

OVERALL OPINION

Tested in store this morning, went home with! Tried a few other 5 strings, but am less made an impression.
What I like most? Sound, or rather the sounds!
What I like least? The hard slap which requires rework his game, but ..... Is not it useful?
Value for money unbeatable.

I would do this election? We will see in a few months, but ..... I seriously think this is YES!

EDIT 25/07/10: slap actually difficult. Solution if you can not pull the string of D, it must enter the Mark King.
I buy it back safely!
