Hohner The Jack Bass Custom V

Headless Steinberger bass way, with handle driver microphone configuration JazzBass typed with active electronics switchable (significant in case of failure of the stack). Channel

UTILIZATION

nice, thick enough (good grip). a bit narrow for the slap (but with classic 5-string) ...

Once properly adjusted the handle (must search the Internet for setting style easels Steinberger), it is comfortable, versatile and highly accurate.

Rather mild compared to a JazzBass example, which is a big plus, especially for the long ball ... kind benefits

The agreement does not move.

If the bass is a little soft, but it helps out.

SOUNDS

Tone typed JazzBass, especially in passive, with one side more modern assets. Its very good round with a growl in the attack if you hit a little. Slaps crystalline.

The microphones may lack a little fishing and personality and the electronics are a bit noisy (trend buzzer when you release the ropes) .. I am thinking of changing the pickups and electronics cons something more upscale ... it is expected to spend a good midrange an excellent instrument.

Sustain unbeatable (joystick driver).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for years and is still my main bass. I find the look a bit dated 90 ', but it's still pretty darn good. The electronics are a little weak but the violin class is enough to justify an upgrade.

I think of the change, but I can not find better in a reasonable budget (I dream of a Sandberg these days, there obviously is changed class, against everything I've tried Fender Mexico and other pales beside my little Hohner).

In short, a super low and constant companion ... if you find an opportunity, please do.
