UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice, fairly flat as all Ibanez but we have a good grip while allowing us to retain flexibility for the riffs to 250 bp.
So we have a body agathis: prejudice ----- "oh it's heavy and it does not sound ugly!" okokok is true that it's a bit heavy but I want to say that it is already lighter than a gibson in boi de je ne sais quoi! It is perfectly balanced making it actually quite small when standing.
To access it through acute because we have a handle screwed. For the latest freight you need to do a little effort but still good once it's doable and it's a guitar for beginners.
Regarding the sound it requires some adjustments at the micro knobs: it is a force that requires more attention level settings.

SOUNDS

I play metal (death in the black), and a little rock to Pink Floyd, Muse ect .. It is clearly oriented big sound! If that is to jazz it will not.
Regarding the settings I find super polyvalant (some would say polyvalant certainly not very good at all. I say it is good for big sound for a beginner and that is great to have a sound ( more) than correct in s'autres styles) I get to go round the bass sound, to a more acute and funcky that goes snap!
I use a Kustom combo KBA65 (which is a very good amp for not very expensive) I tried to connect the bass with a metal muff (typed metal guitar distortion) and the sound is a little bit dirty but it agree to some (in any case I was pleasantly surprised because I was expecting worse).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 weeks.
I admit to not having tried many styles but I have ears and I know what sound should be low. I especially compared with the low bass buddies and I can assure you that for this price you will not be disappointed.

What I like most is his polyvalant, its looks and the fact that there have 5 strings.

What I like least it may be the lack of precision when you play the low B string was empty (the premièreen from the top)

I bought OCCAZ but even for the new price is a low exelente.
Perfect for beginners you will be happy about it!

I said that I put nine out of ten, taking into account that it is to start and why it is simply exelente (indeed begin to start ... I think you keep it long!) &% &% &% &% Perfect for beginners who want fun!
