UTILIZATION

Play this classic Vibe is very nice for those who love handles logging! Good thing is my case c Accustomed to Musicman, the change does not feel ...

Bass holds the road well, acceptable weight, the handle is comfortable to play, access to acute nickel is even if the hand rub a little on the frets ....) and the sound is spectacular!

I was looking for a sound of old school and I have found to € 416!

As incredible as it may seem, this bass cheap made in China sounds as good or even better than a Fender Precision (1400 €). I tested both and I was bleuffé!
It must be admitted, the Chinese are now producing very good products in musical instruments. You just have to overcome the prejudices that is all ...

Knowing Fender reputation, this classic Vibe to a master volume and tone volume as a normal accuracy. C is ... and it is more than enough because we immediately get a sound more convincing!

Perfect for use as I wanted

There is just one small problem, when playing seated work for his songs, the bass tends to drag but the problem is solved when we play with a strap or standing

SOUNDS

To play the classic Motown repertoire Vibe is perfect when set fully into the grave and its deliciously retro look it seems to be part of the legend!

You can play the same rock, it sounds like hell by digging in the midrange! Blues soul filled book this low loads and not be ashamed before his big American sisters!

My model has a Fiesta red finish, color that drew her to me any more than that and I admit that over time, I'm used to my and now I l love it!

I climbed ropes nets dishes to give even more softness in the sound and it sounds fabulous!

OVERALL OPINION

To confess all, I'm not a fan of Fender Squier and even less and yet, wanting to play standard Motown for my BassCovers, I realized that I had a sound of my old school modern low could offer me.

I use my little Classic Vibe past few months with a MarkBass MicroMark home and I confess that I love the old school sound with which I can play big task blues, soul, groove rock ... is obtained immediately an interesting sound in the style that we play and I love the simplicity!

Over time I do not know what it will be worth because I think the jack is a little light and fragile, but seems to me making sure, no problem.
Maybe she lacks a bit of potato, low passive forces, but this is what I wanted.

In short it is a product I highly recommend to all those who want the sound of legend without breaking the bank! In addition, this bass look fabulous

To get an idea of ​​the sound, the link of one of my BassCovers where I used CHiP's fashion:


and Pink Floyd fashion:

Made in China, otherwise it's like a Fender Precision

UTILIZATION

The playability is great, the sound we have now. Of all the fawn, there is only one microphone and two pots then SETTINGS issue is to quickly, but it has that is good!

SOUNDS

was perfect for me because I played rock the pixies, strokes etc. ... So often the mediator, nickel.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months, she has a great look, great sound, frankly for the price I am very happy. I tried other models like the epiphone because I wanted a bass with the mouth so there was no question of buying a Cort ... I do not regret

Made in China
20 frets plutt fine a micro splitter type P-Bass
The bridge is of type Hi-mass, a little beefier than the sardine box of sheet metal found on other precision.
1 volume and the Tone Tone is effective.
Channel stocky, good-quality rosewood bleak.

In short, a copy of low precision of good quality.

UTILIZATION

The handle, once rgl (small inconvnients the VPC, the handle was too tight) is perfect, not too big, C-shaped, very comfortable.
CHAC in acute, we do not care one can, if a precision is achte not play in the treble. The 20 boxes are sufficient.
At weight and maneuverability is not too heavy or too lightweight, in short is impeccable, a bit heavier than the same when Cort B4.
The Son is the precision of it's perfect. Note that the Tone knob is effective and to allow some variation of sympathetic tone. Too bad there is no repre o to know it is a glance.

SOUNDS

Perfect for rock, although a fall is what I play!
I play on an SWR LA-15, the headphone with a Pandora PX4 or a head Warwick.
Do not worry the sound is very round and fat, not making head with rglage is the foot.

OVERALL OPINION

I lche not for a week, compared my Cort B4 possde it a much more brand personality and a rock well, as I like. Although the Cort is happening everywhere and versatile, you can not have everything!
What I like is the sound and the PB concept, and you plug you play instead of spending two hours rglage know what to use.
After 5 years of low, in the end the important thing is to play, not spend time searching for sounds.
For the same budget I do it again this choice leaves me a few years to put in the cot for a US or Japan.

The bass is really well done, not a band that Exceeds as picky, I think the mcanique LA has a lightweight hard point, but much like the bass tuning.
The output level is quite pchu, nearly equivalent that of my Cort B4 is active.

Disassemble in the pickguard, there is proper quality welds and paint to shield the cavity.

In conclusion:
Well I have a little flash on this bass, I like the look, comfort and sound. For 330 euros on the net (promo Woodbrass) is Nirvana.

Chinese manufacturing.
Something that is not often stated, was to hide the chrome easel provided for those who like that sort of look.
A handle precision rather well done. 20 frets.
A micro precision.
Volume and tone. The Tone "is quite effective and can really vary the sound, which is quite rare in this price range in my opinion.

UTILIZATION

The neck seems to have the same coasts than its American-inspired, so it's a little manly. But you get used pretty quickly.
Same for the weight, it's still accurate, it's a bit heavy.
Same for access to acute.
I'd say the same for the sound, we get very easily its precision, but that's about all.

SOUNDS

Sounds very nice. Works very well for a little punk stuff with a pick. Lines soul / funk to finger not go bad. Even slap it sounds good (it's not an end to his jazz bass but it's still usable.) Lowering the tone, blues and reggae going very well.
She gets along well with my Bass Big Muff.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this bass for two months.
It is quite to my expectations, I wanted something simple and old-school.

A small downside, however, the handle of mine has changed a lot the first month, forcing me to go back to the store, but everything is back to normal since.
