UTILIZATION

I want to clarify that I am a guitarist, who has sought to buy a low entry level to have fun for a bit and increase my sound palette.
I find the handle relatively pleasant, I expected a "worse" for a bass. It has a touch not far from a guitar, I think!
The ergonomics are very good, bass do not look and is comfortable to play
Access to the treble is very easy
So I put 10 because I was waiting on the one hand has a touch difficult because it is low, and low-end finish because it is cheap. Ben finally I'm really not disappointed!

SOUNDS

The sounds are quite versatile. However, it seems that micro-knobs operate at all or nothing when used together. We must turn a knob to the bottom when there is already an active microphone to hear a key change, there is no escalation. But hey, we can play a little on the knob tone (which is very effective in passing from my point of view) to address this lack.
I can get just about all types of sounds, then I'm not very demanding, I know it's a low entry level and so I do not ask him too.
I bought a pack including therefore the bass amp Kustom KBA + 16 (very good amp for the price) and bought a multi-effects Zoom B1 (multi-effects which basic but effective).
I can not really judge the sound because I'm not really require the development of bass sounds that I get, I use it mostly to have fun without trying to understand what I'm doing.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months, always with the same pleasure! But hey, 2 months is not much.
I have tried no other model before buying it, I entered the store and I said "hello, you have a low not too bad and not too expensive?" And it showed me that Cort . I did not want something looking, even the most rotten bass would have made me happy. I had a lot better!
The feature I like most ... Well there is not really. Perhaps the speed of the shaft (for low)
The feature I like least is that we can not have a good mix of both pickups, as I explained earlier.
The value is very good in my opinion!
With experience, yes I would do this choice. I got it for my (little) money, I am very happy with my little low. Maybe look into a distant future tree to change the pickups, but hey, those origins are versatile enough for my taste.
My notes are rather optimistic, because I am a guitarist who wanted a low to relax a little. A real player, I think, will need after a moment of something a little better. But this bass is not bad for its price (especially if it is in pack)!
