Beatbass VS Vintage Series : Really good bass

8 years ago

This is such a good bass! I was looking for a hollowbody and came across this one, and I'm glad I did. It sounds good, feels good and is really light. I only found two minor problems, which are: the fact of the head being heavier than the body, so it can be inconvenient to use if you need to constantly take of your hands from the bass (however, with a tight strap, it will be no problem), and the fact that the switchs of both pickups are swiched, so the "Bass" switch is connected to the bridge pickup and the "Trebble" to the neck one and it makes more sense to be the other way arround. I've seen some reviews and everyone says the same.

Another thing I found a little bit inconvenient is that the pickups make noise if you touch them because it is a hollow body. You just have to get used to avoid touching the pickup when playing.

So, overall is a really sweet bass, really beautiful and sounds really good :) by the way, I if someone is looking for a smooth tone, I would recommend some flatwound strings which, with this bass, sound like a charm ;)
