UTILIZATION

Before touching the instrument, you look. Opening the flight case is discovering a weird instrument curves and sexy design. By raising the lower one is its lgret tonn.

The sound is clear and empty prcis. Ms. low notes sound and you can start playing without connecting.

Ergonomics is tudie a nearly perfect balance, whether you are sitting or standing. The handle is trs enjoyable, fast (varnish) and Access in acute trs is a great ease (which is the point that there is no more boxes!).

Only BMOL, the "micro cache" on the bridge pickup, which takes some getting used to when playing the finger. I removed my ds had the lowest, but this is an issue got sr.

Then you plug ...

SOUNDS

In gnrale, I play with all the knobs on 10. The sound is standard, clean, flexible and very easy just with the intensity of the game right hand (I'm right handed).
But for those who like to tinker, this bass offers a range of its important, thanks to the precision knobs.

Possde in the 4003 SERIES, an option that Confre "2 DIFFERENT sounds" by lifting the Tone knobs Aigue, you get crystal clear sound in 2 seconds, ideal for bass and chorus mdiator in the game (for example). This option, in another to approach the sound of Chris Squire on his 4001.
Bass, rpute for mdiator game, although the game rpond trs fingers. Sounds obtained are DIFFERENT and we can go from a fun one for a pleasant change.

It is very easy to change just by changing its right hand position. Mics perfectly fulfill their rle and sounds really different.

I do not sound dplus. I play many styles of music (jazz, blues, Hard rock, metal ...) and this bass acts as "all terrain". We must also love the sounds rich medium, clear and prcis.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this bass for 9 months. It's a choice I would do without a doubt (I prvois elsewhere to buy a ds that I have money).
I have not tried many before MODELS, I knew I wanted that sound l. And I is not the t!

With regard to the purchase, I buy in the United States, since the brand is virtually impossible to find in Europe. So I had an unbeatable price (excellent price quality ratio) and a dlais shortest (10 days APRS order).
I put 9 because I really galr to find it.
