It's a 24 fret 6 string Corenne, team of 2 Bartolini soapbar pickups MK-1 and a Bartolini electronics. Marine hardware Ibanez. Rglages volume, balance, and low / medium / high position with mdiane (boost / cut). It's a screwed sleeve. Abalone inlays on the sidelines. Let us say right away, the finish is excellent and partly justifies its reputation for selling very low-in of its value. I put 9 because it has the reputation of having a problem at the bridge which prevents it from having a perfect intonation (ie. D. adequate share between notes and fret harmonic basically the accuracy Gnrale). Why not, so far I've found that c'tait indtectable ear, my luthier will tell me more ... rglage She has a pitch of 34 ", a report by 35" string tension is lightly lower, to suffer on Si which may be a little more releases them. Gnant nothing especially if you play to the bridge pickup. Very good impression Gnrale the Reception, especially IBAN book with the cover fits, the cls and a jack and a strap. Score one for the cover with my Previous 6 strings I've never found the cover fits, they taient all too short.
[update]: I just make rgler (planimtrie, intonation, action): my maker had no problem with intonation. I put 10.

UTILIZATION

Pleasant to handle this kind of low, I pull out a Peavey Grind 6c and is best: fine and fast, does not catch specially. It comes with Elixir, I do not know and it's not bad at all. CASC is good except for acute may be for the two LATEST frets and again. Let us not forget that a 6th chord adj greatly limiting the dmanchage. Let us now one of his great qualities: it is incredibly lgre! I do not have the exact weight unfortunately, but I pass a rcemment Journe Pigalle try all 6 strings as I could and it broke all records, including the addition Peavey -quotes. It is lighter than my Squier Stratocaster, yes you read that right ... This particularity is reinforced by the dcoupe "3D" body, very round and slim, it would almost think a leaf is beautiful. It is very good balance, standing as sitting. Add a good leather strap and you are in an armchair.
The sound: it is a low modern type, do not grunt was like a JazzBass on the other hand it offers a beautiful sound very clean and easy parameter to get what you want thanks to the EQ effective. She deserves a good amp Behind (yet find in my case).
The strings are relatively tight for a 6, this element over the type of sound that makes level of groove it diverged from a 4 string bass or more roots per example, one must be very clean, it is an instrument other than my opinion. In terms of technical feasible, I work three fingers above and the fact, for the cons to slap can do things like "Slap it" but not "Wooten" (or at least not easily, difficult to combine thumb and other fingers in the space available). She arrived two weeks ago, a good time rglage I can test everything that is tapping / popping, then see. Rglage the original is already quite low (controlling in T.).

SOUNDS

I play jazz, afro, Caribena, reggae, soul, funk and rock. It certainly raise the rock that suits him less, it is too clean, like if you want funk very bold, yet the medium rather than increasing it happens cool stuff. In contrast to the rest: very good versatile bass. It has a good reputable among mtalleux (due to a certain "coldness" as the rglage EQ), personally I do not play. For the rest it groove, the bass is beautiful, envelopes, clear highs ... Detaches the sound into the mix.

OVERALL OPINION

Buy two weeks ago, I like its efficiency and versatility, the quality of the production and sound, the sleek look and graceful as a sword. I do not see what more could a bass in this price range, the hand may be IMMEDIATE ct a 4 string, but you can not have everything: - ) in this case the low B and high C particulirement are effective. I prvois to couple with a really good Jazzbass for the whole palette m'intresse. Remains to find the amp that will suit both, may be Ampeg ...
I tried the Cort A6 (very good craftsman series, but I'm not a fan of the look), the Ibanez John Myung (his magnificent instrument very ugly and unplayable because of the misplaced mic APRS me), Ibanez SR, BTB and TRB. This is the only one that combines APRS me comfort, and look in such proportions. The price is incredible for this quality I believe is the least of all instruments CHRE pr-cits. I regret the short crossing OF INTEREST Parisian stores for 6 string bass (thank you all for the same California team for the patience :-)
This is my 2nd bass, and I advise any bass, even pro (in my case ...).
