Frequently Asked Questions
The Josephina pickup generally offers a slightly warmer, more nuanced tone with a bit more low-end presence, and often a more refined vintage character than a stock '57.
No, each relic job is unique, so the level of aging will vary slightly from instrument to instrument, adding to the individual character of each bass.
The 9.5” radius provides a comfortable blend, easier for vintage-style playing but still accommodating for modern techniques; it’s a versatile radius.
