Frequently Asked Questions
Josefina pickups are known for slightly more clarity and a richer harmonic content, offering a more refined vintage tone.
The 60s Oval 'C' is a mid-thickness profile; while comfortable, it's not as substantial as some modern necks, so larger hands might find it a bit snug.
While it *can* be slapped, the P/J configuration isn't ideal for aggressive slap – the P-Bass pickup’s design prioritizes a warmer, more fundamental tone.
