Frequently Asked Questions
The semi-hollow design introduces more air and resonance, making the tone less direct and more 'woody'—it’s a more complex sound than a standard solid bass.
Yes, the pickups are standard single-coil size and can be replaced, though modifications might require some basic electrical knowledge.
The Pau Ferro fingerboard is likely finished with a thin lacquer; it generally feels smooth and a bit faster than rosewood, with a slightly drier feel.
