Low made uh ... Japan? (I seem to end there!), 24 cases, a micro p-bass split, a micro type j-bass ... One volume knob, one tone, 3-position switch (jazz, precision, j + p). Channel Alder screwed.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very comfortable to play fast and end (what the Yamaha) despite the 5 strings (away from other brands with sleeves quickly become beaters clothes beyond four strings), good access to acute until the last boxes.
The weight is not excessive, below a Fender, but remains as a result from my RBX 260 Fretless, I feel like a tank on the shoulders!
The sound is very surprising for the price, the microphones are typed and deliver a vintage sound very pleasant (especially micro jazz). Personally, I kept the original strings, but I will go to a draft greater than the first break ... Matter of taste.
SOUNDS
I use it in jazz as well as progressive rock, and I filled both sides. It runs on a Hartke A35, and a Fender Bassman 100 times 70, and two, the sound remains clean.
The settings are pretty basic because of the 3-position switch. The model above, in force, provides a potentiometer in place that allows a finer mix. But lack of money and envy, I stayed on the passive version, and I have no regrets.
I prefer to play on Hartke, micro jazz only because we get really bold and distinctive sound ... We must push the button 4 or 5 tone, and even with amp on 3, 10, -2 (bass, mid, hi). The Bassman 100 with no equalization medium, the sound is more difficult to obtain.
OVERALL OPINION
Active duty for 4 months now, she turns 6 to 8 hours per week. I liked the price / quality ratio for 5-string, sound, and finishes. I have tried many models, Cort PLO through Squier. I admit I had a soft spot for it, as already equipped with Yamaha, I was reassured to find the comfort of play
In the future I will try to pass well to the active version, or even an RBX775 or TRB. We'll see!
