Finally, the characteristics of this low (4 or 5 strings) are really excellent. On paper, there is nothing wrong a priori.
Perfect? Still not. One can almost say even if nothing is perfect.

UTILIZATION

While there, I can easily say that yes, the neck is a joy compared to my old Warwick. Fun, fast, very comfortable for my little hand, I do not let go since I got it.
Regarding weight, I find it lighter than Warwick (not measure - I will do as soon as I think). Access to acute is correct and no more.
Do you get a good sound easy? Frankly it is hard to not get to have a beautiful sound. Tested before you buy a SWR, Trace Elliot a little I have (the poor HP 12 "can not make the Si Grave ^ ^) and finally a MarkBass CMD 151P Jeff Berlin, where it sounds beautifully.

SOUNDS

Equalizer works very well, even if the screen without caring knob mediums does not change the tone in a small range.
Moreover, it takes just 2 R6 instead of the 9V usual. It has a switch to turn on or turn off the electronics.

For sound, you have a choice, but at first the sound is round (which I like about her). But thanks to the equalizer (mail enabled), you will have great possibilities of sounds. The sound is very precise, clear.

OVERALL OPINION

Waiting: 3 weeks.
Some models tested over several months (SR900, G & L 2500, Warwick, Cort).

What thing do you like most/least about it?
Its comfort and sound, the case. On the negative side, I would say the fact that there is no dedicated compartment for the 2 batteries.

Hence, for a final note, I can only put as 10/10 for 1600 €, the benefits of this model are really excellent. I did not tell her yet found a major flaw.

I hope it will help those interested
In all cases, try before you buy.
