I couldn't wait to get this model when I had the chance..then I couldn't unload it fast enough. I did like the string spacing, but some components feel cheap i.e. the eq knobs, the output jack, and good luck trying to get the control and battery access off!
Last time I bought a 5 sting Fort, it was a 34 inch scale and had a very heavy neck dive, so I can't imagine how this one would be. Unfortunately this is never mentioned in reviews.
Hi there A very important information to add : Is the lightweight of this Bass around 3.7 kg compared with others with an average weight of 6kg :-) I took this Bass on two gigs and the only thing to improve for thé moment is the setup of the 3 band equi. With the middle double pot. Which is not very reactive for me Thanks for sharing S.V
That bass is gorgeous, but I think that it was such a poor design decision to make the battery compartment screwed to the back instead of a quick access latch like it is with most active guitars and basses.
@@AlexandarShmex There is already a large, plastic back plate in most guitars, and there is always the option to make the backplate with a quick access latch like Warwick does or put the compartment for the battery on the backplate like some Gibson Les Paul models have.
@@D14V0R05 I know, but on a high price instruments, I like a matched wooden plate, held in by small neodymium magnets. Easily accessible and beautiful.
Nice. If you ever get stuck for ideas you have an invite to visit Luton UK and play my collection properly. I should have the music room refitted by July and have a host of really crappy instruments including 3 home built projects & some 'take care' China builds that would provide a lot of content for anyone considering such a project or purchase. Would consider doing a video myself but don't know how really & you have THE platform. Happy new year.
