«  Very good for the price »

Value For Money : Excellent
Made in China but it is not seen ...

Channel and maple fingerboard 20 frets.
Maple body.
The color is a matter of taste.

Single coil Duncan Designed Jazz Bass good.
1 volume for each pickup and a general tone of standard quality.

UTILIZATION

Channel Lumberjack 5 strings but requires no gene in the comfort of game
Heavy enough to play standing but not insurmountable.

Access to the latest proper frets as on all Fender Jazz Bass like.

One branch is closed nickel tone. You must love the high mids intermediate tone. If you have the misfortune (or happiness) to turn the tone background we get a sound to Marcus Miller or Pastorius: love it or do not like, it is still necessary to have 1/10th of their talent to start enjoy.
To slap it's ideal.
If severe rope sounds good and can address all styles and different thanks to its extended range.

SOUNDS

Suitable for all styles but more comfortable on the Pop, Funk, Jazz Funk fusion and even reggae.

Its very basic medium tone and closed mid-high open with the maple fingerboard, very incisive slap tone.

Whatever the amp sounds good from a 100 w.
Closed very nice tone. The sound of the string If serious.
I almost never use the tone fully open because too steep for me.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, 5 very honest strings bought € 365 new.

Many other models of the same price and even more expensive ones have a rope If serious rotten.
Count double or triple the price for nine more.

The 5th string is really a plus for some styles and avoids disjointed and change tunings.

The quality is there for the price no problem.

I remake this choice without hesitation because I think this is the only 5-string bass that sounds in this price range.
