I'll try not to paraphrase Titoon;)
So a very good bass, excellent craftsmanship. Compared to my GSR180, ca change!
Channel 5units, mahogany body, it's good material, nothing to say.
The handle is fine I find it quite nice. It is quite wide and cons, 5cordes
forces, but it is easy to learn, no pb. The frets are super shiny, logo BTB on the head is the most beautiful effect.
I love the monorail bridge, super nice. it comes with a set of Elixir strings
Nanoweb (70 € the game!), Plus ca Bartolini MK1, you can imagine!
I am looking for, but I think there is nothing wrong!

UTILIZATION

Well, actually, the width of the handle may interfere a little at first, but personally
I got used to in an hour or two. In any event, if we keep seeing a spacing
the strings properly (19mm) wide will always stick. But in my case
I do not think it's a problem. Since it is late it goes quiet.
Access to acute is easy, since the cut.
As against the weight a little surprised. Not getting started, but after 3 hours of play, even
posed sitting low ca ... eventually hurt mahogany, when you hold us! But standing with
a very wide strap (like a leather Levy's) it works well.
Its level is reached easily get what you want with 5potars (double dt).
Any change immediately affects the sound, it does not seek to 20mn
the correct setting.
Note also that blocks taken Neutrik jack when inserted, it is convenient.
I put 10, because the weight is a false bp.

SOUNDS

I play a little bit of everything from NIN to todos tus muertos through deftones, tori amos ...
So I needed a versatile bass, and there I ale! For the slap is too good,
pickup slams! I play on a small 20W amp Ibanez (yes, most will come
later!), it sounds good. I liked the sound is still a chouilla fatter, but hey,
it's not bad!

OVERALL OPINION

My having only a few days (4 in fact!), I'm crazy!
She has a pretty face and a pure sound! I had the opportunity to try qq 5cordes home
Cort and Yamaha, for the same price I did not hesitate! Frankly, for that price is
of very very good stuff. If I had to do it again I'll do it 20 times if necessary!
