SX SWB1/5 Natural 5-string Bassguitar

5-string electric bass guitar that features a solid mahogany body with arched top and back and a set-in mahogany neck fitted with a rosewood fingerboard with 24 nickel frets and white dot inlays. The fingerboard also features a rosewood binding. Scale length is 864 mm, nut width is 45 mm. The bass guitar is equipped with one single-coil and one humbucker pickup – both of which are active. Sound can be controlled by Volume, Treble and Bass controls plus a Balance control. Other features include a two-way truss rod, gold die-cast machine heads, a real bone nut fret and a gold bridge. Natural colour design with satin finish.

Pickups Configuration

Pickups Configuration: HS

The humbucker-single-coil configuration means that the guitar is equipped with one humbucker pickup and one single-coil pickup. This setup offers a combination of powerful, full tone from the humbucker and bright, crisp sound from the single-coil, providing versatility for a wide range of musical styles.

Finish

Finish: Satin

The satin finish is popular for its ability to combine the properties of both a glossy and matte finish. This type of finish provides a soft sheen, less intense than gloss but more pronounced than matte. This creates a smooth to touch, lightly reflective surface which gives an elegant and sophisticated appearance. The satin finish is ideal for those looking for a balance between visual appeal and convenience, as it can hide small imperfections and fingerprints better than glossy surfaces.

Body

Body: Mahogany

Mahogany is a dense wood that produces a warm, full tone with rich bass and a strong mid-range. It is known for its excellent sustain and resonance, giving it a deep and round sound.

Neck

Neck: Mahogany

The guitar features a mahogany neck for excellent strength and stability. Mahogany is known for its great resonance, contributing to a warm, rich tone with a distinctive mid-range.

Fretboard: Rosewood

Rosewood is a dark, dense wood that offers a warm, rich tone with excellent response and sustain. The rosewood fingerboard is valued for its smoothness and comfortable feel while offering durability and longevity. It is popular for its rich sound and classic aesthetic.

Érdekes hangszer. Két eredeti W után kissé elfogultan látom, bassgityó-építési alapnak tökéletes, valamint kezdőknek és hobbi zenészeknek is. Kényelmes, könnyű darab.

An interesting instrument. I'm a little biased after two original W's, it's perfect as a base for building a bass guitar, as well as for beginners and hobby musicians. Comfortable, light piece.

Erstmal die positiven Dinge. Der Bass ist leicht und man bekommt 1 -2 wirklich brauchbaren Sounds raus. Bester Sound bekommt man mit dem Blend Regler in der Mitte und Bass + Trebble voll aufgedreht. Der Rest ist leider nicht so schön. Die Bundstäbchen sind scharfkantig und stehen leicht über. Die Elektronik hatte einen Wackelkontakt. Die H-Saite schnarrte im 1. Bund auch nach dem ich sie höher eingestellt hatte. Der Batteriekonnektor ist so eng im Batteriefach, dass das früher oder später zum Kabelbruch kommt. Ich habe schon gute Bässe von SX gespielt, doch diesen kann ich nicht empfehlen, im Vergleich zu einem billigen Yamaha Bass ein Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht. Da ich den Rückversandt auf eigene Kosten und eigenes Risiko organisieren muß, werde ich den Bass behalten und versuchen die Bünde spielbar zu bekommen und dann an einen Bekannten verschenken. Auf der Bühne werde ich Ihn nicht spielen, auch nicht als "Notinstrument".

First the positives. The bass is light and you get 1-2 really usable sounds out of it. The best sound is achieved with the blend control in the middle and bass + treble turned up to full. The rest is unfortunately not so nice. The frets are sharp and protrude slightly. The electronics had a loose connection. The B string buzzed at the 1st fret even after I had set it higher. The battery connector is so tight in the battery compartment that the cable will break sooner or later. I have played good basses from SX, but I cannot recommend this one. Compared to a cheap Yamaha bass, it is a difference like night and day. Since I have to organize the return shipment at my own expense and risk, I will keep the bass and try to get the frets playable and then give it to a friend. I will not play it on stage, not even as an "emergency instrument".
