Low made in Germany, Bolt in 3 folds of ovangkol and affects Wenge. 24 frets, tune of 34 "classic easel - tailpiece two parties (at Warwick classic) Nut and" just-a-nut "(classical as well)

The body is swamp ash, sanded finish (ie, it sends the sand under high pressure, which has the effect of "digging" the wood and bring out the deeper veins.

MEC humbuckers with two large plots apparent, each with the ability to switch between different modes for each microphone (serial, parallel or single)

knob 1 volume push / pull to select active / passive pickups and a bend between two pots for bass and treble.

This bass is very nice, admittedly. His look, with two humbuckers closer to the center of the body makes very aggressive.

Now I will note the quality and seriousness of violin ... this is where I'm going to let go:

All went well until I seeing me, after some time, the glue lines between the various layers become visible ... VISIBLE when I say, its just VISIBLE ... Well ...

After some time more, not only the glue lines were more apparent, but the folds were not aligned! Still, my guitar is always stored in optimum conditions in terms of humidity, heat or cold. I ask the manufacturer telling me "it's normal! Take sandpaper, you pumice, oils and you're done! At worst, if you mind not leaving like that, it not bother! ! "

Morality, to have discussions with some colleagues violin enthusiasts: this type of problem should not happen, let alone a box "so-called" super strict. As someone remarked to me: when you love the violin, when you're proud of what can happen if one of our instrument has a problem such as this one, he replaced his sleeve, he changes his guitar but in any case, allowed no in this situation ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is more comfortable to play (after 3 years ...) for a balanced view, I find it a bit linear (who loves me itchy lower body !!!!) but c is a matter of taste!

Accessibility to acute is less obvious than on my ESP, but there are still way off the hook.

SOUNDS

The principle of the system is $ $ that has the ability to quickly create any sound in any style. I used it in a rock band / grunge and parallel, funk-rock, no worries.

The sound is very defined, particularly regular in all frequencies.

OVERALL OPINION

Given the point No. 1 on the defect at the neck (especially the bad times of service in Warwick who say "bah ... it's not too bad ... tinkering here and hop, we talk more !!!") it is clear that I would never again buy an instrument that leaves their factory.

Damage is low, although not perfect for me anyway, was out of the mouth and a strong case!
