UTILIZATION

We always approach apprhende of such an instrument ...
For me too was the agony of rigor especially in the region Grenoble difficult to find such an instrument on the test bench of a store ..
However n'tait anxiety not justified!
Having only play on 4 string bass MODELS, transfer of this 6-string bass was without difficulty ds Premire the notes!

The handle has a width large enough as you'd expect but it is also flat trs.
Meant that we found there <span class="skimwords-unlinked"><span class="skimwords-unlinked">vite.Pas</span> bother to extend the fingers of 10cm for all the ACCS ACCS is <span class="skimwords-unlinked"><span class="skimwords-unlinked">cordes.Leurs</span> trs ais.
CHAC is also acute for a great ease.
The key is also enjoyable trs and the handle goes under the fingers gently rev it enjoyable! The neck is fast.
The instrument is also perfectly balanced and the POST before I ever put the question of its weight so it is not a problem.

To my taste the strings silent a little high, but I rebaiss well without making any frisotie!

SOUNDS

Level sounds nothing wrong!
It is clear that other models such as the BTB SERIES is a low rsolue East for styles tend toward the rock, etc. .. mtal
Here they do not have.

Certainly the impact of the string when the key 'grategrate is well CHARACTERISTICS of rock that are the frilla mtaleux like me, but it qualisation Bartolini Confre versatility.
It's simple you can almost have it all.

Sound good rc rock typ mtal at his well rounded with low "in sailing you want," while passing the "talking nose" full of vaguely reminiscent mdium certain standard of JACO great, you get faster to type a chicken pti totally forgetting that a 6-string under the qt ..
The slap sound is also well <span class="skimwords-unlinked">plaisant.Certe</span> is far from a jazz bass but do not chipotons "has come!"
The instrument is also rich in harmonics.
If the severe spring depth ac (thank you mk2 microphones), it does not frieze.
The C is an extension for arpges interesting, the game in line and taping piano.
Being a fan of prog mtal, I also do a lot of fun big mountain range on 6 strings that seems not so hard that even aa do on this instrument ..
As you can see the level I'm satisfied.

OVERALL OPINION

Versatile, not even hard to play, beautiful ..
Need I say more?
I recently prs 3 months now.
Approved live, she knew me I'm nuts to crack.
I do dtach more ..

In my group mtal teacher in my group of Jazz funk, recording ..
It goes everywhere.
I do not play nearly as dlaissant the top 4 strings because I can not find dsavantage one might think passing a 6 grants a 4 string.
Put in hand or slap is more p *** c ******.

Bought 759 euros at my dealer for Students like me it is clear that hurt the c ** (what vulgaris ^ ^) but let's not be fooled.
This bass is worth more than the price it is sold as o of rare quality.

One of the few criticisms that I could make him have his mcaniques lgre just for such an instrument.

Exprience with this choice I would do without even a single second rflchir.

UTILIZATION

I spend an Ibanez SRX 505 5 string bass in this beautiful, and the first thing that comes to mind is Wow!

The handle is a highway! What happiness through this round! Can afford settings with strings very close race with no rope no frieze.
Nice sustain, treble comfortable access to the trestle bridges separated prevents unwanted vibrations from adjacent strings, just put his ear to the handle without an amp to realize the quality of the violin! And at this price point, c ' is just great!

I was a bit scared when crossing the 5 to 6 strings, but the neck is so nice that everything was done spontaneously without any difficulty.


SOUNDS

Sound point of view, it's hard not to find his account as electronics offers a wide margin of maneuver.

I play a Fender Rumble 100w in a jazz quartet in Guadeloupe, where one moves from bebop to jazz funk, Latin, Caribbean and it is clear that everything is there!
Its powerful and modern for the slap, its crammed with medium to severe Pasto, all in some settings with the knobs of the equalizer.



OVERALL OPINION

I have this bass for about one month, I tried dozens of bass for almost two years in anticipation of a change, any more different from each other, from 500 to 3000 euros in total honesty, question was asked more after trying this Ibanez. I have a hard time to find faults, some very minor details to finish (it is still not a bass luthier), but it is in the details, so no question of fiddling!

The quality of violin making is impressive at this price point, the sounds obtained ultra versatile, I sincerely think that bass players looking for a quality 6 string bass should try this before coveting a coffee maker with more than 2000 euros. Here we report exceptional value, and I do it again without hesitation that choice!
