Reissue produced in Japan, according to the same specifications as shown MODEL copy it.
For reasons of economy, it lacks a few pices of hardware from the original (micro cache and cache tailpiece) but can be if one is keen to have the true look of origin.
The mcaniques reproduce those of Fidler era. Nanmoins the mtal lgre trend has a "sting".
Another measure of economy a little petty: the nut is plastic.
Apart from a, the violin is of excellent quality.
In terms of color, not too much choice: it butterscotch blonde. To beginners, I found that has really pulled on the canary yellow lgrement function but eventually I got used to.
The key is in Saddle and beautifully painted, like the neck and head.
The pickguard is black, a fold, and is pretty blah with matte texture.
Because of these few Reserved (rdhibitoires who have nothing), I do that 9.

UTILIZATION

Trs enjoyable instrument to play.
This is a precision, so the width of the handle a little beginners Drout the habitus of the Jazz Bass which I belong, but you get used to rev quickly.
In terms of rglages, can not be more simple: a volume knob and a knob of Tone point bar. Not need instructions.
The spirit of this guitar is to restore a vintage look and sound: it will therefore be less suitable for lovers of modern techniques (slap, tapping ...) an instrument providing a wider range of rglages. If one is aware of this limitation, it is a perfect instrument of this view.
It to improve the comfort of all, I think added a thumb rest (the surface of the single microphone is too limited to serve this purpose).

SOUNDS

This instrument is ideal for someone who, like me, a quite basic.
Even if her vocation would be used Premire in securities roots well, I'm playing with Amen on modern times we do well with my group. Effects by adding to it, we finally arrived some versatility. Personally, I use a Overdrive, a chorus and a wah-wah.
In terms of amp, it has not one he MRIT since I only have a modest Hartke 60W of quality (it makes me good service but strongly time o I substitute a slightly more powerful).
This guitar sounds good overall trs, even empty, without being branch (from this point of view, I find that it surpasses my US JB!).
The sound is clear and prcis (normal for a precision ... mouuaarrrrffff!).

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, my satisfaction is complete!
I bought it in spring 2005, so there is 6 months, and I find myself taking it more often than my Jazz Bass ... says it all!
For less than 900 euros, I think it's an original instrument, the quality of manufacturing certain.
With minimal customization, we can correct small "pettiness" of the house by Fender causes some concern for crop production on cots.
