UTILIZATION

The handle is pretty hefty and heavy weight is a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The shape of the body with very small dorsal horn that lacrosse is ahead on the left so you have to break the grip and get off the last boxes. More it stings the nose so you can do with dumbbells left arm.
Added to this my little hands, I had to stop playing it up because I had a sore wrist strength to break the strap and over the horn Laché me 2 times.
(Fortunately the rope so was there to catch all)
Otherwise sitting is really fun and access to treble is perfect.
The sound is there, no need to tinker.

SOUNDS

The definition of the WW. It's very special and unique as its both. She has the strongest bass and treble too slammin (probably due to Bartos) and mediums ... listen to Mudvayne albums is the sound. By cutting the treble was more sound that Stuart Zender of Jamiroquai.
The neck pickup sounds and the parallel position differed little on the other hand bridge pickup gives you a near Jaco sound but not his technique, although ...
A little more variety would have been welcome to her.

This bass is made for big sound, I used to funk and metal is almost perfect (a little more ti fishing for treble)
The only small downside is that there is a blast to the amp with the treble at the bottom, inaudible as a group.

For brevity, I will say it is the sound Fender, Musicman sound and sound Warwick Thumb.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased in 2002 to 2400 Eur okaz, it was a good deal because the price of new hurts approx. 3500 Eur. I tried at the same time, the Thumb Bolt-on 6 strings (much cheaper) but the view of the handle driver I did not hesitate.
You really feel like a sculpture in his hands.
Too bad she's so heavy.
