Frequently Asked Questions

It's significantly more aggressive and powerful, with a tighter low-end and less of the classic Fender 'growl'. The active circuit adds a distinct character and higher output.
The included potentiometers are functional but fairly basic. Many players upgrade them for finer control and a more refined feel, though the stock ones are perfectly serviceable.
While physically it can be mounted, the tonal character will clash significantly with a P-bass’s warmer sound. It’s really designed and voiced for the J-bass’s brighter, more defined tone.
