See sheets before.
This low possde of active pickups (a P-Bass type to the handle, a type Jazz at the bridge), but not an active legalization.

UTILIZATION

This is my first bass, and I have virtually no touch before, but let's say:

- The neck seems great, it seemed to me that the imitations of Fender bass, the biggest round silent ... Finally it seems that it is for the world of bass that the sleeves are Ibanez guitars for the world ^ _ ^

- Ditto for Access in acute, they did not lsin the depth of cuts

- It is super lgre ... I get up without playing with strap, it is to say (not sr good I can do a time not more eh ...)

- For rglages: volume of each micro + tone + "boost", the change in feeling especially adjusting the volume balance between the two microphones

SOUNDS

Although this is the "funk" that I really did not jump on, I like to play a little bit of everything with this low kind of Motorhead, Maiden or the Police that IOTC in what I ' trying to play the Chic, Indeep's or Luther Vandross.

Well this bass seems to me a versatile all adequate, the kind that requires a first deuxime see an instrument, the time to really know what you want.

I thought that some techniques li apprhender difficult instrument, I found myself out and even slaps agreements fawn pretty clean considering it's the very first time that I have the opportunity to REALLY play the bass.

The micro-type P-bass is serious trs, trs trs fat, while the micro type Jazz is more crystalline. It's the balance by increasing volume and decreasing the one of the other.

Gnral in the pure P-bass provides well for the metal and jazz to funk, but the best is to refine.

As on my guitar, I always leave the tone on its value the most acute, otherwise the sound is too tuft my taste, and I do not feel much about rglages intermdiaires.

OVERALL OPINION

I understood that the active pickups can do gnrer virtually no noise, yet I perois with a micro type Jazz, while the P-Bass type is completely silent (I use a cable style "neutrik" o the surprise of hearing a noise at all).

So the choice of an active low micro seems to me more sensible trs: the boost is not that useful but also if the battery falls in the harbor, I can not play ...

That said, I tried two other basses before buying this one:
- A SX P-Bass imitation: c'tait first prize in the store, I expected it to take the base

- A Yamaha, which makes pens look it, but the sound ...

The sound of these two was really cheap low cot of this Ibanez: prsence had no other, no dynamic, no power, its silent compltement neutral tasteless. The silent test while on the same amp with the same rglages course.

However this low-l silent a little more expensive than the other two, in fact it Exceeds my budget of some Euros.
J'tais came to me saying "any Manir I can not play, then you can take the cheaper", but by listening to this bass, and playing it, I thought I could do the effort to put a little extra for something right away to INTERESTED, a price that was frankly super-affordable.
That said I do not have a bone test Squier Precision Bass, because the budget gap became too large and I did not add spices to the dilemma, but I do not think that would Squier t normment better nor as versatile, and I do not speak of something that is extra (forms and finishes).

I did that for about one month and this is my Premire low, it said it confirms what I thought of Ibanez in the area of ​​the guitar: report qualitprix / Versatile / equipment without faults
