«  Good bass for beginners »

Value For Money : Excellent
It is a 5-string bass, neck-through, 24 fret, passive electronics with two humbuckers with a volume and tone each. It was made in Vietnam.
I would not say that this is the great violin, but it is very proper for this level range.

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite wide and round, I think it is pretty good, but it's really a different handle or Jazz Bass G & L L2000 for example. This is a bass that weighs a good weight, when I bought my G & L I was shocked to see the light of the new.
Easy access to acute, especially as the body is "thinned" at the junction body handle (I will try to post a picture tonight for clarity).
On the (s) sound (s), we can say that this bass is quite versatile, having both pickups made quite different (normal, the handle and the other to the bridge!). We must realize, however, that this is a low entry-level passive, and that will never happen to a Jazz Bass treble, or the sound of MusicMan ...

SOUNDS

I play on a MarkBass amp LM250, having long played on my first amp, a Roland Cube 100W. The only effect that I allow myself time for compression is to smooth a little volume spikes due to my game right hand.
This does not lower its that I hate, and against it has a good presence in the bass, which I love. A small gripe would be the relative inaccuracy in the midrange, but because of its design, it is normal that the low outweigh the rest.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this bass for about 7 years, this is my first bass. I gave him a few infidelities with a G & L Tribute L2000 (since I sold because it was too much in the medium for my taste). Finally I returned to my first bass. I changed the electronics turning one volume to replace it with a micro balance, and I think it really is more convenient as well.
Among its qualities, there is his look, and his big presence in the lower spectrum. Among its flaws, the fact that this "bump" in serious harm somewhat rest of the spectrum, and in particular mediums.
Level money, I think it's all good for the price paid, it is a very decent quality instrument.
With experience, I would buy maybe even if it was low to begin with, but perhaps not as second or third bass.
