Made in Korea, the K5 has 24 frets for two Bartolini pickups and active in Vari mid 9V. It is a standart bridge, one can settle on the output level (volume), the balance between the two microphones, bass, treble, mids, for which Defines the fquence. It is not painted, but said oil finish is excellent.

UTILIZATION

The neck is narrow, and very enjoyable, even if I have enough hands or very large, it's really fun to play the dessus.l ergonomics is really good, it is well rounded and do dfonce no ratings, and for the highest frets, access is easy, even if for.
The sound is the highlight. Even if the signature Korn, absolutely everything we can play with this bass. from funk to metal. through anything you want. I do not rnb or any such things or sampler does the job, but for those interested to do a "hand" will do a nickel, and sometimes twice a day.

SOUNDS

In the group or I use it, we play everything. Doobie Brothers to Metallica, to The Eagles and Pink Floyd. More of the compounds. And it follows for all styles, without flinching. it's versatile. I play two amps, Hartke Kickback 15 a to drive home and a Trace Elliott 715 in RPET. I think on stage, I would use both. This gives the wah with the selection of mids knob. it's pretty fun, but admontre although the extent of use. surgras of metal slamming funk and high-pitched, even slap in a condition to be very clean, the strings are very close to each other at the easel. There's not much that I disliked about this bass. uh ... no I see it.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two months at the time of writing more or less. I use it almost 15 hours a week, I begin to know the beast. The vari mid is really a good system of pramp. I bought it online in the United States, it comes four days after the order via UPS, c very fast and cared not a pete on packages. report quality price is very very good. With exprience, I think I would do so this choice. or maybe a SR3005, who knows. it's pro stuff, feel when he was in his hands. it's clean, burr-free net. effective. Finally, what all good. prvoir fund MD100B, PCQ a gig bag with a, c srieux really not. has tiep same.
