- Handcrafted in the USA.
- 21 frets.
- Bridge G & L to pass the strings through the body or not, with a mechanism to block the "saddles" for stability.
- 2 humbuckers bobinnés by hand by Mrs. Fender, certificate in support: P
- Settings: switch a passive / active / active + treble boost, bass boost switch 1, a selector switch for pick ups. A master volume pot, a pot acute, serious one pot.
- Maple neck with rosewood affects.
- Swamp ash body (ash swamp?)
UTILIZATION
The handle is wide enough, which can interfere with some, for my part, it is working very well and I like the spacing between the strings that results. Access to acute is very good. The balance of the instrument is good, it is a bit heavy for example, but you get used to, only later, when an instrument contains more unladen, it seems that it is a toy! : P
The sound is his greatest strength propablement ...
SOUNDS
It suits every style! the settings are truly effective. I used a tube amp is the height of happiness, for example, a transistor amp, much more difficult to get a good sound. Can one become more difficult after hearing the beast of an amp any lamp?
Sure thing: it's about amp, no bass.
You can have all the sounds: the funky sound "picky", pointed to the sharp biting at his walk round the grave well, to sound "jazzy" a little deaf.
Being a great lover of disco / funk, I love her funky obtained with the bass boost and the bridge pick up alone. Delicious!!
Small weakness quickly we forget: When going from passive to active, the difference in volume is very large, it must be manually swing ...
The so serious is impressive, depending on the strings (the strings of origins are rather low quality ...)
OVERALL OPINION
I have been 6 months already, and I like it a little more each day. This is the kind of instrument that makes you practice! I love the look and settings.
Weakness: none, apart perhaps the price: it is a low $ 2000 CAD, and for students (like me) is not given. I wonder if the model is equivalent TRIBUTE. It must be seen as an investment!
I is not tried many models before buying, some yamaha and ibanez and it had many features I was looking for!
The price / quality ratio is very good, but we expect no less of a bass at this price. I reffer this choice eyes closed, as I will work with this instrument very long, but for someone who practice music as a hobby, maybe it's a big investment. Finally, everything is relative to the budget of each! : P
