Bass 4 strings, 22 frets.
Low active, but I rarely change the battery (good battery is more than a year).
The mcaniques are effective, robust (never change in 7 years), prcises and does not move hardly.
It possde 4 knobs (treble, middle, serious and volume) and a selector for the three microphones, the 3rd is perfect for slaps.

UTILIZATION

The handle is really perfect, not too pais, nor too late, the hand can slide over aisment (only default is the freight that gnent some slides during rapid and long). The strings do not curl as they are prs of the handle, which does not need ncessite finger muscle and give us great flexibility.

The interface is simple and ESG ever, remains low against the musician and gives acessibilt the strings without default. Access in acute is strongly facilitated by the dcoupe corp.
For me the three microphones in a block does not impede the game at all the fingers, I can rest my thumb on it unless I put it on the edge of the plate when I want to play more in the center of the body. Location of the handle moves away cre a standard for ease slaps.

Only default body weight, is solid wood it took time I muscle the shoulder and he often gives me the impression of being a prisoner of my strap. Anyway it flies over.

SOUNDS

It is really a low trs polivalente, it should a lot of style. How many times have I not seen this MODEL in the hands of both African and when I use it with rgale in rock. I know even one that uses mtaleux! But all the while with its knobs and its slecteur, all with very wide variations, even when it comes hardly as a trs appropriate sound to metal. In fact I am not yet able to make out at the same time a hollow sound, heavy slap. But I am not trs useful.
Moreover, this is also his full strength as it allows even to a walking trs enjoyable!
The 3rd slecteur offers the most appropriate for slap: with good strings she slams dlicieusement.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 years, I bought it without knowledge and now that I have, I keep it at least another 7 years! I used that for the jou trs diverse in styles and I always t happy especially when I could compare it with another.
As mentioned above the default principal is its weight, qualities for cons, it's everything else.
But the most surprising is its price quality ratio, I could sell it the price aisment nine cd 600euro. In addition I have often heard that there are pros said low numbers to double this price that do not equivalent! They taient first tonns.

Everything that if you are looking for an exellent low, with the personality of your budget not Exceeds 1000 euro and you have the opportunity to meet him, Do not hesitate! Not to adopt it would be a matter of taste between objects impccables.
Having said that from 1000 euro, one can find much better bass.
