USE

The handle is excellent in my opinion. He did not boug few years.
Easy access to acute, the handle is a bit wide, according to some who have small hands, but it is a 5 string ...
Frankly, I've never played a round as good in this range of low !!
The sound is very round and versatile; One branch, a ring, obviously this is not the best electronics that exists but works well, I have often used in the studio and on stage.

SONORITS

This is truly a versatile sound, equalizer enables the sound correctly rgler such powerful play between the fingers and slap.
I have used with Laney amp and HARTKE 3500, and now Markbass. And rings!
I play with a rather fat and round sound, and it was flawless.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 8 years, the handle does not boug !! What I like: you plug it sounds, it is not taken round head rgler.
I tried lots of bass, but in this range, there are very few equivalents in relation to the price !!
I want to change it to have a low more professional, even not comparable, but I advise anyone wanting to play 5-string on a good run, with its versatile round, without targeting either the bass quality top range of course!

Made in Taiwan. Remarkable finish. 24 frets, active electronics, severe corrections, medium, treble, master volume.

UTILIZATION

After a long interruption on bass, and I signs up in a register that I had not practiced: the metal. Well, no particular pain. A nice round, very comfortable overall ergonomics. The weight is quite big, so I bought a wide strap, two layers of leather (Levy's) and all is well. Corrections are very effective and we get immediately the desired sound.

SOUNDS

This is a very versatile instrument. It proved instantly responsive and adaptable. Simply set the frequency equalization and rapidly changing registry. I rule for the "outline" type. I use a small combo input range (Peavy TKO115) and everything is going. No effect. I leave neutral equals on the amp and I set everything on low. Effective. I do not even rises above 5 with the amp (75w rms). Bassist who sold it to me had a set of the action of low strings, well, not frieze. And as the microphones are very high, the performance is good. Big sound! I do not hate anything about this bass and it motivates me to work 200% side and game

OVERALL OPINION

I played a lot of bass for a long time but I really have a soft spot for Yamaha for their synths for that matter. I had the opportunity at a good price and in good condition. I would do this choice indefinitely.
