«  VERY satisfied with my purchase! »

Published on 01/15/12 at 02:37
As specified on the back of the head: "Crafted in Indonesia."

Maple neck, 20 frets, 2 pickups "Duncan Designed" prepared according to the standard Precision (no buzz, no problem mass or otherwise, you can push the volume of the amp!), Easel identical (in appearance only? ?) to the model made in US "American Special", and two knobs (1 volume, 1 tone).

UTILIZATION

Channel super nice (although the original set on the one I bought), and I would say much more than many US models I tested before buying it.

Ergonomics are good, classic form Precision, nothing special about the weight except that it is a bit lighter than US Standard.

No differences in access to acute in relation to standard US model.

A small adjustment of the bridge quickly, and it is nickel. The sound is in my humble opinion very very similar to that obtained with a US model (in-store tests on the same amp without changing its volume, all the knobs of the bass in background).

SOUNDS

To go a little deeper about the sounds, the bin is simply the Precision what?! I'm just the studio was working on projects in various styles and this bass gives me satisfaction when I need sound Precision. I get the fat you want, and what each of the strings in any position on the neck and slamming the distinctive (especially for the game with a pick).

I am not doing my last one taken of her with POD X3, and it sounds like hell! Who still had a chance to use it in an amp (Ampeg), I can tell you that we still retrieve the correct serious in this case. It hums to death!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months now and am fully satisafait with my purchase, and all for $ 363 including taxes which is about 279 Euros.

I have tried many models, and frankly I really do not find useful to 4 times that price for a made-in-US (they are sold at around $ 1437 taxes included here in Quebec, which is about 1100 euros). I tried the other models in this series "Vintage Modified", as well, whether the Precision or Jazz Bass. I really wanted to handle all maple (without added touch), so I chose this model.

I also tested all models of the "Classic Vibe", and it's frankly stunning ?!?!?! I plan also to do well the acquisition of a Jazz Bass in the series to complete my set.

The value for money is super good in my opinion, but I still want to add that some of these bass I tried were well assembled, well finished, and some not so ... So feel free to bring out all its stock to the seller, the same test several low until you have the feeling of having the right hand.

NOTE: Also check an eye and an ear on guitars Squier Classic Vibe Series, same story! They are really bluffing, so I paid a Stratocaster and a Telecaster.


Wishing you a lot of fun,
