John DOEUF « Original bass, but his neutral. »
Published on 03/29/14 at 02:14This is an extremely low light .. Who did not "reach" can not realize.
It was almost like having a liter of milk hanging from the strap ... lol
This is absolutely perfect for that back problems or girls who do not want a bulky and heavy bass because it will not interfere with or influence, and I'm talking about the five strings .. the heaviest ...
Its strong point is its look, its LEDs, shape.
But it's still a little cheap.
Yamaha has developed a piece of hollow plastic as a finish on the head.
There, it lacks serious. it's gadget toy.
At the easel, paint is rough, so that the bridge does not cover the cavity. This is approximate.
The key is fine. Too thin.
Do not forget that Yamaha has not continued with the AIR concept .. I think it is revealing.
They have been champions in the design, but then it does not follow.
This is pretty average, even if the sound is nice, but nothing more.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice, the only hands slide all over in the manner of a Precision. It is still a five-string, you can not ask the finesse of a jazz bass handle.
The varnish on the back of the neck is acceptable. However, it tends to slow down a little slip.
SOUNDS
This is where the shoe pinches. This bass is certainly very pretty, especially in White, and very rare to find ... But ..
Do not expect a sound that smashes.
In fact it sounds quite round, and tone gives acceptable acute, but very little slap.
It makes the job well with clear notes, a nice sustain, but is not very generous.
It is a passive, but the passive Precision catch cold!
If you want to play in projects with a powerful amp that colors (Hartke, Ampeg ..) effects pedals, no worries, your amp will give personality to this low and you will be happy, but if, as me, you use high quality sound amplification straight (EBS, David Eden, Markbass), you will not be conquered because it turns flat. I say this in comparison with high-end instruments that I have and that totally asleep, but I I do not spit on the beast.
Regarding the string SI, no worries .. no problem keeping notes or sustain molichon ...
MI and LA are great, D and G are honest but no more.
OVERALL OPINION
My faith I did a one-month trial with this bass, but I was annoyed by the lack of definition of his personality and treble.
I have not found either narrowly in the upper part of the handle, yet believe me, I know about violin making, and I set the absolute lai hair!
It is intended for people who do not really work the handle but play fairly basic lines of the handle.
Perfect for Metalica, Muse .. this music where the pedals improves the sound. The lower tool rest a "Midi way", which serves for service keyboard sounds defined elsewhere.
But if you want a coffee with personality, direct plugged into the amp .. c'st light. Turn to DUESENBERG, FENDER, SANDBERG, GIBSON and that is often overlooked ... or you dégotez Guild Pilot secondhand nearly 800 Euros but its absolutely fantastic ... or an Ibanez ATK Japan ... you better invested in this price segment.
YAMAHA So, this price segment is acceptable, but I think the aesthetics disguise the lack of personality. For me this is a bass that lack of guts, but has a great look.
Obviously I will not repeat that choice.
I sold no regrets because it does not absolutely competes with my U.S. Precision, JB, Duesenberg, Guild ...
Summary: OK, but nothing more.
