Chinese brand, finishing decent for the price. 2 active Bartolini pickups, five settings, easily adjustable handle.

UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant, rather late. Low light (at least compared to a Washburn XB 400), well-balanced to play standing. There is a good range of sounds, given the number of settings. This bass has a very natural, very "wooden". Coupled with flat string net you get a bit old to have an attack very flexible bass. Do not look for her and slamming metal with this low!

SOUNDS

I play all styles except a little rock and edgy stuff. Almost exclusively in its clear. I have a little head markbass mark 2 with a 2x10 traveler of the same brand, all sends 300w and sound of the bass very well respected. It sounds great unplugged (must aim just the ear but ...) which proves that the violin is not too bad. Level settings I'm rather limited medium, low at 50 and a little more acute. I like having a clean and well defined.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months, she has a particular sound and to me is the best of the range. (I tried the model above: the A4FL, which sounds very similar to me appeared I have not seen much difference except in price. As against the model below is to be avoided, the C4 LF it is really less! more is he who is pictured on this topic, notice to the moderators ...)
In my opinion, the price / quality ratio is really good, knowing that one is in mid-range instruments. If you are a perfectionist and you love the great instruments, you will hit much higher in terms of price. (Maker of such low or high-end brands)
Anyway it's a great fretless bass to learn on because it sounds good, and it's important to have fun when learning! We can nevertheless make the studio is also my case, so if you do not want / can not get more for a fretless, please, it's a model that has character.
