In passive sound uncannily like a Fender Jazz bass kind of vintage! Assets found in the same features but with the punch and dynamics of large bass.

SOUNDS

Suitable for all styles of music, see the bass players who use it, it goes from trash to jazz. Short a sound and a sound palette foolproof.
For my part I use it primarily with a tube preamp Avalon and on a Ampeg tube head as well.
The sound I get is serious (normal for a bass;)), and bottom of the attack, which happens very present throughout.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years. The most interesting is that it is the same sound as my old Fender Jazz bass but more than 66 modern and 5 strings.
But before buying this gem, I tried many bass that were far from his qualifications.
Its value for money is not the most advantageous:
You should know that few instruments leave the factory every year, so price accordingly. + Count of 4500 Euros for this model and wait about a year.
But the USA is made still more interesting between $ 2500 and $ 3800.
