Tim57 « The heavy. »
Published on 07/17/11 at 15:48Low made in Korea.
The bridge is part two (for me, this is not the case for all A6)
Channel driver, 24 frets
2 microphone (an acute and severe)
Micro Bartoloni Mk1, electronics is also Barto.
5 knobs: - Volume (with switch active / passive)
- Pickup selector
- Boost / cut low
- Boost / cut medium
- Boost / cut acute
UTILIZATION
We do not hide it, low weight and weighs like an ironing board for the uninitiated. However it is very well balanced! The handle is a highway! access to the latest cargo is very easy.
With regard to the sound: Any flat, pickup selector in the middle, and you plug it sounds!
SOUNDS
I play on a cabinet with a 350w Ashdown head Hartke HA3500.
This bass is great for what I play: rock, metal, blues, jazz. It may be noted that it is interesting to add a preamp behind this one to get a better slap sound (Yes 24 frets is not the top for the slap!). Speaking of slap is better to be precise, because the space between the strings is limited.
The sound is mostly crystalline, provided very low frequency and medium serious! Distortion is in the foot! gambling agreement makes the effect more interesting. However, the sound is very cold. This will not please everyone!
I think changing the pickups soon by EMG or Seymour Duncan and at the same time change the mail (as acute whistle a little when they are boosted)
Finally it is interesting that the sustain is just monstrous, well adjusted with the handle and driver, add it to the bridge in two parts, one can note last a while!
OVERALL OPINION
I play it for 3 years. I have not tried other models of 6-string because it is rather hard to find! But the 6-string is a vocation.
What I like most is the power that emerges, I branch, and I tremble all the windows so low breath away. What I like least is the lack of heat ... Not ideal for all types of jazz, blues.
The value for money is unbeatable, I got used to 650 €, it is THE instrument. Once microphone and preamp changed (or 300 € extra charge) I have here a 6-string, which is not much to envy to warwick and other (much more expensive: o)
