Frequently Asked Questions
The S-1 switch activates a capacitor on the bridge pickup, adding a brighter, more open character to the overall sound.
It's a more modern 'D' shape, thinner than many vintage P Bass necks, offering faster playing but might feel different initially.
The blend knob mixes the P and J pickups, while the concentric mid controls allow for precise tonal shaping, boosting or cutting frequencies to tailor your sound.
