Frequently Asked Questions
Bartolini pickups tend to have a more focused, refined tone with a tighter low-end and less inherent mid-range muddiness – expect more clarity and definition.
While wider than some basses, the roasted maple fingerboard and overall ergonomic design makes it surprisingly comfortable, though players with very small hands might take some getting used to it.
This bass thrives with an amp that can handle active electronics and deliver a clean, articulate tone; a modern solid-state or a tube amp with a tight low-end response will work best.
