Manufactures in the United States, consists of 24 frets.

It retains a right to sustain a trs Bolt.
Consists of two single coil pickups that leaves its prcis trs.

The cart between each string as a grown up, it brings a slappeurs but easy for a new habit for the habit of taking the standard cart ...

The electronic is clean and powerful: volume, balance microphones, bass, treble and slecteur 3 positions to boost mdiums. The only question that keeps running: is it useful to have as many rglages?

One regret, by the impossibility to disable the inter Systm active (you have to make corrections ZrO severe and acute mdiums).

At finish, nothing wrong.

UTILIZATION

For its use, it is now seven years since I played and I must say that we made it trs well if you like 6 strings.

The balance between the handle and the body is good compared to the neck-MODEL. Its weight is his weak point because it is not ngligeable. We must therefore have a good strap and good shoulders ...

The handle is flat enough to leave a comfortable game (dtail important given the width of the handle).

The opening of the body can reach easily the top of the handle which is not a low ngligeable directs soloists (leaving room for the string of Do ...)

The electronic SETTING THE are simple, effective and prcis, which makes it convenient.

on the other hand, like many active basses, I suppose, do not abuse the amount of active amplification, otherwise use regularly, the battery does not last long ...

But use regularly, the battery makes me within 6 months, which is reasonable trs.

SOUNDS

To return to the sound produced by the electronics, when I bought it I thought all rglages offered me a wide range of sounds, but I realize now I am almost all the time on the same rglages giving his simple and effective (near-neutral corrections). Better to have a good rglage on his amp ...

Personally, I know that it adapts well to various musical styles as it gets its time round but also prcis with good momentum for a 6 strings (related to the dynamics phnomne dgressive known for more than 4 bass strings).

I know I like to pair it with a Octaver (EBS) for improvisations, a wha-wha (CryBaby) to make casseroles and possibly a small chorus that is classic for solo (Boss CH-1).

In amp, I use a HH Bass Machine 250W with a good place about 20 years leaving over the roundness of sound that the claret. Otherwise, I direct the branch in which the table rvle not bad and even better with an amp in the style of the day (like last Ampeg / SWR and David Eden, for example).

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it for 7 years now, and I've never had a problem with that: good times and big sound.

The only BMOL CHARACTERISTICS his is the jack is in the lower Intgr which does not contact the top and limits the type of jacks connect it (no sew jacks for example). So I recommend a good cord to go with Jack Jack (with crown on the base to make good contact).

His report qualitprix is ​​reasonable given its global CHARACTERISTICS especially since it comes with its silent flight (which completely push the shape of the body) which is a good addition.

When making my investment, I tried several instruments including bass luti (in the same price range) and trs amazement, I was on the claret MODEL because of its did all its appeal (thanks to single-coil pickups instead of humbuckers on other models which loses some of The definition of sound).

If I had to change low today, I think I would do this choice.
