Vielseitiger Bass

Frank991 22.06.2024

Dieser Bass ist sehr gut verarbeitet. Nach dem auspacken sofort spielbereit. Gut eingestellte Saitenlage und Bundrein. Saitenhöhe habe ich für meinen Geschmack minimal noch etwas flacher eingestellt. Aber das ist ja auch Geschmacksache.
Durch die aktive / passive Klangregelung ist ein breites Klangspektrum abrufbar. Wenn man sich an die vielen Potis mit Doppelfunktionen gewöhnt hat. Ist dann aber auch schnell zur Gewohnheit geworden.
Die Mechaniken sind wertig und halten gut die Stimmung.
Die Saiten des Basses finde ich nicht so angenehm zu spielen. Sie klingen gut aber ich empfinde Sie als recht hart. Werde mal andere Saiten noch ausprobieren.
Leider ist der Bass leicht Kopflastig. Wenn man einen glatten Ledergurt hat rutscht er nach unten. Das lässt sich mit einem rauen (Wildleder z.B.) Gurt aber einfach optimieren.
Dieser Bass ist sein Geld wert. Ich habe den Bass als Zweitinstrument gekauft. Er wird bestimmt aber öfter zum Einsatz kommen.
Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Super lækker og afbalanceret

Super Pleaser 06.08.2024

Har længe ledt efter en 5-strenget P-bas med den rigtige lyd - den har jeg fundet her. Halsen er virkelig smooth og jeg bevæger mig uhindret op og ned af den. Gode indstillingsmuligheder og passiv/aktiv switch. Det er min go-to til de fleste numre jeg spiller.
