Value For Money :
Excellent
Hello,
I got this bass in the workshop to make changes to the customer's request and went to a nice surprise surprise!
It is therefore an opinion maker than user.
Very good surprise at the equipment for an instrument made in Indonesia.
The cavities are shielded electronic, amazing at this price!
In addition, the trapping of micro severe (hidden by the plate) is large enough, we can put any type of microphone (if you change or rework the plate recess) to replace the simple JB.
The knobs are Alpha (one of the best brands with CTS and Bourns).
In the end the only weak point is the no-name jack
There are mesh edge touches the frets would have won but to be a little more rounded on the edge
TUSQ nut type, and not a poor plastic! Once again amazing for the price!
The neck is satin finish and the body is gloss. A good idea to lower the price without sacrificing too much finish the look.
The gloss being longer to a satin finish.
Frankly varnish is much better than some much more expensive instruments.
The bridge and the mechanical are pretty basic, like vintage.
The trick in damage mechanics is that it requires a hole of 18.5 mm on the head, it limits the choice if you want to change to a lighter model example.
There is no strap lock
8/10, the maximum score (considering the price) failed because of little diameter mechanical jack frets and no-name disappointing compared to Alpha knobs.
UTILIZATION
Handle for a pleasant 5-string with a central flat.
It is quite heavy but well balanced against.
Obviously access to the latest box is typical Fender, ie zero. The heel is not profiled and screws are retained by a plate (which adds depth to the heel) rather than ferrules embedded in the wood.
7/10, the weight and the heel are lower note. A Fender JB sum.
SOUNDS
The opinion of the original customer pickups, 2 single Duncan Design are quite correct.
All maple (key, handle and body) so its pretty bright and slamming.
No note I have not connected.
OVERALL OPINION
I bleuffé the quality components for the price.
I never believed in the cavities shielded knobs alpha, TUSQ nut types.
This quality for this price = 10/10!
