Made in Korea, handle driver (great) and rather narrow (16.5mm between the strings), 24 frets, Bartolini MK1 pickups and active EQ with knobs Barto volume, balance, bass and mid trebble, accu-castB25 easel. I do not know for wood, but he seems ok, it is curved and very comfortable and very lightweight, great!
For my part, I had natural wood color, which apparently was produced until 2005. The top is made, everyone told me, it casts serious! But should see her too.
Overall, that's good! We feel the quality, I would say the average premium (see premium only).

RQ: oddly my easel was oxidized (??!!), I end up with an easel half black and chrome. A check on other models of over two years.
RQ2: too bad the battery cover does not open with a screwdriver.

I forgot to mention, but you guessed it, it's a 5 string

UTILIZATION

Ah the handle, the handle ... what about ... it is good? Nah, I think more than that, it glides on its own, it's pretty small for a 5c, but it is no longer a problem after adaptation. Acute attack my faith is almost complete: I have a little trouble reaching the 24th case of so serious, but so good lol ... and sutain ... great, I think it's due to neck-and shape of the bass is ... hmm
With a good strap, I think we can be any lower. With a strap at L * dl, I think we can easily hold a concert with babane sr905.
Well, use, features, ok, let's just sound. I play everything from soft more than Bourin (death metal, metal, rock, red hot, rythm'n soul, blues, jazz). So guess I was looking for a versatile bass. I think I was served.

SOUNDS

We discover the beast, one is "ok ... it's not a trick fagot."
And say "Hey, I'm going to see the plug."
One mug of coffee and there: "Oh my God, it's light!"
We take the shielded jack, one branch, we notice that there is no locking Neutrik, shame about the price of the low (€ 933 I think). Tac, you turn the amp. I play so bad. HUHU, error, I was thrown against the wall (lol). I try to get up. Ok, we'll feast.
I turn the knobs. I type the walking bass (hoho the pun! Sacred me). "Woh ...", it's round, it is rather hot (it is perhaps not the warmth of a Fender, but it's good).
I return the knobs, I start the SOAD is so good.
I'm starting to turn the knob trebble. Too bad, his breath a lot.
I tried the slap, and there is almost cata: the spacing is rather low, in fact, it takes time to adapt. And finally passes his own, very present bass, treble it right.
In short, a range of impressive.
I have yet to find any sound, but my favorite type of music (red hot), it's perfect. Let's groOove.
For accuracy, I'm not Bill Gates, so I have an amp Warrior (lol) 65w, I play with no effect (but I need a compressor now). Certe not worth the ampeg. But I wait a Peavey TNT160 (it's not like a Trace Elliot). I also tested this on a fender bass and there BXR300 Croy me is excellent and it breath away (especially if the grave).

OVERALL OPINION

My opinion is not yet final and can not serve as a reference because it is one week (received 16/02/07) she is home, anyway, all I said is true. For features, I can not lie, but for the sound, I may reissue me later.

But for now, room for more:
Weight-
Lutherie-general
Channel
Bon big sound
And the least:
New price-perhaps
-No neutrik

I raised a babane SR300 (my first bass). I quickly made the rounds. Must say after 1ans1 / 2 ... but it is a great bass to learn, she has concerts, jazz has had (lol) and red hot metal and of course. I also tested a fender mex Jazzbass dlx (active) and I admit it is very good. But it was not mine so it was very bad.
The value for money for myself is excellent as OCCAZ purchased at € 530. However, at nine, I think the ratio Q / P is pretty good. This is my 2nd bass and probably my first real low to me.
It must be admitted that it was very beautiful and a good big sound, so I would do this choice. However, I will seek more in the nine occasions since, is that even a ti cheap (well for me anyway).
Go try it, it's better than me.
Bon bah me, I go back.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
