UTILIZATION

Channel do to me flat and always pleasant.
Access to acute impractical but easy compared to the original Jazz Bass (heel planed)
Low Mahogany very heavy, but the sound is clear and precise.
This gives a pure and nickel. The Acute are obviously very present, but thanks to micro Delano was the sound Jazz Bass but quality!

I give 7 / 10 because of the weight!

SOUNDS

Suits my style of play, stumbled and donf to slap!
The sound is very precise and the game, not to make mistakes!
Bass a little weak but the Delano gracce we could find what you want.
Funk Style thoroughly and all ok for the slap (on acute low down if necessary!) And Jazz (Jaco) -> Excellent (severe acute background to 0 and serious tone background)
Rock Style - Very good all round and its own fully or almost 3 and tone
Not metal!

OVERALL OPINION

6 months of use, manufacturing date of July 2007
+ I like: the sound and shape, color and unqiue table Koa
I like - the weight, but hey I knew beforehand it would be heavy, that's what I wanted but good after 2 hours of rehearsals, it becomes hard if you're not used!

I have other basses in possession and it really is the one I prefer! Others seem to be low foam now ... How sad for them because they rarely see the day! (Ibanez SR505 - Bass Chery 4c, etc.).

From a quality / price ratio conccurents unbeatable.
This choice I would do with pleasure, because I did it myself and it's really a rewarding experience to make his own instrument.
