Made in USA.
24 Cases, two microphones in Washburn W671 handle and 673 Bridge.
Easel-like Wilkinson.
Buttons: Volume Generale, bass, treble, and a micro selector 3 positions.
Channel attached by six screws.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice. It is not huge and I think the change from 1 May to 1 June strings is really insurmountable.
Access to acute is really easy.
It is agréble to play. But it would have been better a hollow back to Warwick. But it's still a good average so low I think it's going. It is really light, light as a 4-string Jazz Bass (with respect to a Ergodyne 705 on which I play, everything is light anyway lol).
The sound is fairly easy to solve.

SOUNDS

I think it suits a lot of music style.
The bass is deep, it does not force the mediums, and there are a lot of treble.
I prefer when you put the mic selector in the middle (I think it's both pickups combined) with acute low-level and a lot of bass that sounds a little Jazz Bass.
In any case, it is better not to adjust treble in depth because the highs are already present.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about 6 months. I bought on a whim I do not use it that much. Am to 4 strings.
I like the sound, but I do not like its fragility. Just do not be careful when changing the strings and that's full of traces of strings on the body.
I have played on another 6-string before buying, making a Korean brand I forgot it was not great. A good look but the sound was not there ...
It is a good low anyway, a good sound. The finish is not exactly top notch but that's what it is.
I buy it back cheaper, but still. JMe'm a little ripped off. She came back in just € 450.
