It is manufactured in Asia (China, Japan or South Korea), and Oceania (Indonesia), it says nothing about it ...
Channel 34''21 frets, thin enough for a five-string Jazz Bass and between the Precision Bass.
2 microphones JB and PB, 3-position selector, volume, tone, passive electronics.

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice, excellent ergonomics, easy to use, no buzz, good access to the treble.
The sound is excellent, I play mainly jazz and blues, rock and bossa that goes without saying.

SOUNDS

It is well suited to my style of music.
I get all the sounds I want the tone control is effective, it lacks some treble but sometimes it's relative, a setting on the amp and it's good, percussive sound, heavy and round, everything password.
I use a Fender Rumble 100 W.
I love all the sounds, its very heavy percussive or with the combination of the two microphones.
Each micro resumed the character of JB and PB but with more fishing.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few days, I quickly got used to the fifth string, I tried all Fender models between 600 and 1000 € I preferred the Yamaha.
I also own a Yamaha RBX 374, I like it a lot less, it is less powerful, I customize ... This is another story (fretless, change the pickups ...)
I think I made a good choice, value for price.
Like the 5-string now, it's fluid, simple and comfortable, the E string is much more clear (set to the fingers abut, more precision in attack and clarity), the string of sounds if hell all over the neck.
And then you can feel the beast!
