Hands-on review: ZVEX Effects Fuzz Probe

I bought this bass a few days ago from a person who has closed his shop in Aachen(Germany), so that I´ve only paid 150 Euros!!! for it. That was the best deal I´ve ever made. I don´t really need this bass because I play an Ibanez EDB 605 5-String but for 150 Euros I couldn´t say no ;-)

At first it has a wonderful finish (Maple on front and basswood on the back and is coulored with transparent red so that you can see the masure of the wood) absolutely nice!!! An other great thing is the 18V active electronic inside, that gives a real big punch so that I´m thinking about to use it in the band because with this sound I won´t need the 5-String to get the punch I want. It´s easy to play and the midrangefrequenze- controle is an amazing feature- cool effect if you turn this knob while playing a tone;-) Also it sounds very good if you slap it. But the best for me is that the cable can´t drop during wild live sessions because it locks inside the bass and you can only take it off by pressing a red knob. This was my problem at the most shows I´ve played but this problem won´t exist any longer;-)

A thing that doesn´t matter to me but perhaps to other people is that the neck is a little bit too big. This doesn´t matter to me because I´ve always played 5-Strings but this neck is exactly as big as the neck of my 5-String but gets only 4. I don´t know anymore things I don´t like at this bass.

I don´t have much to say- it´s typically Ibanez that the quality is really great and it cames with elexir strings on it- only great;-)

I´m very happy about this bass, even when you look for the money I´ve paid. Of course I´ve read the other reviews about this bass and I can´t understand that someone want to tell us that this bass is only good for jazz and so on... Try this: Bass: 1/3, Treble: full, Midrange: full, midrangefrequenze: full, volume: full Balnce: set completely to the bridge pickup if you´ve done you have the best hardcore sound you could get!!! I would never have bought this bass for the regular price but now I´m really thinking of buying the 5-String of the BTB series. BTB´s are really really great basses. and sorry about my bad english
