UTILIZATION

The handle is a rgal thanks in varnish satinbr /> Access in acute possdant is good but a bass luthier in the top of this, I would say it is perfectible
Ergonomics is plutt good, it does not sting the nose, but it tends to drag the thigh in a sitting position because of the varnish if you wear a jean nine such
For sound, it's a jazz bass ... ie: you connect and sounds no matter what.

SOUNDS

Apart from the sounds of double bass and fretless, it can do everything, hh ...
I tested it by running, outdoors on an Ampeg 15 "Portaflex in rpeter on various amps, live sound with a DI EBS, etc ... Nothing wrong.
Sounds obtained as we suspect, will Jaco Marcus and everything in between ...

Obviously, we can always do more, and there will be sounds that we can not have (musicman, Rickenbaker, etc ...) but it's not a bad bass dj do it all ...

OVERALL OPINION

I for a month in low replacement for a mini-run and it does its job properly.
I love her and you plug ct rings and satin varnish the handle!
I tried a bunch of basses, some much better, some not so good ...
The quality-price ratio honnte but no more, especially since brands like Cort offer MODELS worthy of high prices indcents violin ...

The good:
+ Handle satinbr /> + two microphones "silent" duo and comfortable in almost any style
The minimalist electronic + (part of precision, it is hardly easy) SONC no battery in the lower prvoir as active on a branch and sounds: P
+ Form, indmodable!
Ngatifs points:
- Screws mcaniques n'taient not all tight purchase
- RULES silent action too high for games that require a bit of Dextre (Młoda fast gaming agreements, etc ...)
- Mine is a MODEL, but left the bridge rgl silent for a right-handed (factory I think). Rsultat: all the notes sounded hollow on the strings R and del Sol in the 12th box. Just reverse the rglage the bridges but it is not a novice forcment empty and for that price, I find a limit. Fender tend to be complacent I think ...
- No strap (same basis) provided
- I had 2 or 3 cr composed of low and another 24 cases for ncessitaient THEME mlodiques but can not reproduce on it, I feel for once really the 'strait with these 20 cases (but hey you know when you buy so it's not really a point ngatif, and then our job is primarily to ensure the grves, right? Although ...)
- 2 volume knobs, so have to buy a volume pedals to grate on the sound scne for bland, so the more weight in the bag A test: 1 volume, 1 balance, a tone, knowing that you will not max level microphones with a balance in the center ...
- The Tone knob of work I find funny ... It does Ragit only 10% of the last race ... Rsultat there are only two sounds: bright or tuft, but nothing in between.
- The bridge base has no slots for bridges that do not make stable trs (some have had bad exprience to see them go back a little too hard slapper, if I remember correctly !)
- The string of R and G are clearly DCAL compared to plots of microphones, which affects lgrement on sound and can not be changed unless you change to an adjustable easel spacing of the strings in ...
- As we suspect may be, if we decrease the volume of one of two microphones (even slightly), they capture the surrounding noise, which is very stringent and limits the possibilities sound recording or even some scnes as insulation. For this reason, I recommend changing the pickups for noiseless. on the other hand, when two pickups are loud, they are a "silence" absolute
- No thumb rest between the two microphones, which is a bit dstabilisant potentially disabling when just MODELS ncessitant diffrent positions (I think we can get them-this words)
- A lightweight wolf-tone (a note that appears much stronger than others and that is close to a feedback but in grves) to the 12th fret on the E string, but like lots of bass finally

Here I think I have not forgotten ... At worst, I will make an edit!

And remember: "A groove juice a day Keeps the doctor away"
