USE

At first contact I find this bass a little less beautiful that picture but it is not bad at all
the first contact with the handle resembles a bass luthier: fine, stiff and upright as the strings are mounted very low, rather flat
the string spacing is less than a 4c, ideal for quick play and not embarrassing for me as very basic slappeurs
vacuum is still thinking about her a bass luthier, sound is balanced throughout the race, the notes have beautiful harmonics, touch is class
correct weight because the body of this bass is thinner than normal

SOUNDS

The sound is almost anti thesis of a passive bass old
this bass is so chameleon that one has the impression at first that she didnt own personality.
There or a bass luthier has taken part, this coffee gives you a neutral basis for its full, very fast and powerful, high quality (with a beautiful timbre) and you do what you want with, thanks to the well-designed super electronic
Me, I love this feature, it's a little less fun to work at home, but on stage or in the studio, it becomes a huge asset

NOTICE GLOBAL

C is simply by finishing details that we see that this is not a bass luthier
Otherwise, a quality / price like this, I knew that it could not even exist!

In any case, it is up to all that it is saying to her
Given the price, full marks everywhere
PS: I just use the concert (variety, jazz), this bass has an amazing sound in the mix, very musical
PS 2: Ibanez tjrs in its preamp using the TL062 op amp, handymen can replace it with another op amp low TLE2022 consumption, which sounds a bit warmer with highs mids more singing
