, Rosewood fingerboard, 600mm radius.

Diapason-(long) of 889mm.
-Pickups: 2 Yamaha Humbucker.

One can only regret the absence of a handle and a switch through asset / liability

UTILIZATION

The handle-
so it&#39;s a maple neck with rosewood fingerboard with equart type of ibanez 16.5mm (19mm in OPPOSITION to the fender)
It is painted black but not varnished so it&#39;s a special touch, widening gradually with a width at nut very fine will get almost double the body so the style of modern bass Ibanez launched by the handle slides well it is rather flat as opposed to my lag is on the contrary D well rounded he not tired hand to the nut but do not facilitate Careers News treble strings on the most serious
-Access to treble is quite correct body position facilitates the 21/22 th until the cargo without concern after the mounting plate and the body does not really help, but good on a bass .. .

Ergonomics
The shape is meant to thin profile that allows only played without forced sitting inferior horn enters the thigh (cest not very pleasant after a while) and the dorsal horn is so large to accommodate the low is not if not the entire top portion is refined.
The weight is minimal is the lightest of my bass, a really lightweight you can feel it just above a 5 string
The violin is very proper mechanics are pretty effective is also the body and the handle is only details were neglected qq (qq filing of frets, the bridge, pickups knockout that leaves something to be desired but the details in a good luthier that can not do it!

Sound:
I was looking for a low character guy with a really aggressive cut with my other basses I needed a low neo metal / rock punchy and suddenly the presence of an active electronic and micro double aid is not bad true type metal (John myung signature is based on it)
She is very bright and collected a joy to play slap and the blow stops the roundness of sound a little Patie ... must play lequaliser and boost bass / treble to make up the thing the mic is quite disting and sounds good to them is really a case neck pickup and bridge pickup, the sound is pretty close to a kind of ibanez K5 or the limit of a music man but less pronounced.
The possilités tuning strings are very good and does not bleed so bad even if it lacks a bit of presence (the 5-string classical che)
This is not necessarily the most Polivalente low but I bought it for a specific purpose so it&#39;s all good: D

SOUNDS

As I said I used to rock with punchy slap eg metal or neo / powerfunk (watcha, Korn, RATM, Pleymo, Guano Apes, Limp Bizkit, etc) so it fits perfect;)

- I plugged into an amp pro or v I model what I need and full of power and a 4x10 and a 1x15 (4x10 soon one second) so a good balance between brightness and roundness at the gear
-His record is very clear but not crystal clear and powerful, perfect for the big energy play slap and stumbled it responds well and does not bleed, incisive and brilliant
reinforcement is achieved adjustable back into its relatively round and present.
for everything that&#39;s heavy on fat and forget directos
-I like the fact it fills its role in a register or the bass is very aggressive with a huge potato style funky but hey I guess if someone has it that the risk of finding some limit songs to play soft and asked: s

OVERALL OPINION

I&#39;ve had 5 months and I love it for what Personalities I regret a little bit of push-pull labsence to switch to a passive medium cutter so I could see to change the electronic microphone to see the latest and the plastic head sucks a little low was almost € 1,000 japprecis but otherwise it fills his role perfectly
I tried a lot of low knowing full well what I wanted: a 5cordes active humbucker has to type in a korn mudvayne between her and her competition Pleymo dailleurs largely K5 I tried in this area although may be less polivalente that the latter but hey I did not really want davoir K5 Write on my sleeve and is 300 € equart anyway: S
I got a € 650 in Germany I found the gallery for the production of this model stopped 2 weeks before my order I wanted it more in gray (silver) so jai caused the command several times.
Finally in my case is exellent value for money we are left with an almost pro bass with lots of personality and qq default for a competitive price
I love the look of her own Son and his aggressive
Yes, I buy it back with pleasure: D and if it did not exist then it would have an ibanez was in the same range (the sound is close enough and the handle)
