5 string fretless acoustic bass made in China under U.S. control (as usual, we will say in this price range). Black finish, inlay button. Look really effective, much more beautiful in reality than in the picture (I bought it without ever seeing it in Europe, moreover, virtually impossible to try) Almost complete Eq BMH + brightness rather average but hopefully not necessary. I also have an Ibanez EWB205, I regret the lack of built-in tuner and XLR direct output on the MK but the sound more than compensates for these small inconveniences. Clean finish but very messy. A problem with the jack which was unscrewed after some time.

UTILIZATION

Perfect, no complaints. The sound is excellent with little treatment. Good access to acute. Channel easy, enjoyable to play. Low light.

SOUNDS

Well, it's an acoustic bass and no miracle, no amplification, it does not sound hard. Can not play next to a cello or a guitar without a booster amplifier. Sounds good acoustics, but for himself alone ... If you want to play in groups, amplification required. Personally, I go through is a small 35 watts to repeat. I "plug" directly into the power through the preamp of GT6-B. Obviously, it's heavy, but just for a preamp that sounds. In concert, I "plug" directly into the sound system and I have nothing but praise for her!

OVERALL OPINION

I have for almost 4 months now and I play it the more I appreciate it, learn to make the best no doubt. In the studio, it is impeccable. The only thing I regret a little is the choice of the original strings (bought new). I ordered 88 Rotosound nylon to test further the instrument and try to get an even more original (it's been 3 months that I have ordered but also very difficult to obtain).
I would do without hesitation that choice is really the best quality / price found anywhere on acoustic bass in my opinion. I have, I think, of consideration, I bought an Ibanez few months ago and I do not press any more since the MK, even I am considering selling it.
