Frequently Asked Questions
It’s more articulate and focused than many traditional PJ basses; the custom voicing gives it a unique character and a more balanced tone across the frequencies.
The modern C profile is generally comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes, but those preferring a thicker neck might find it slightly thinner than they're used to.
It's a decent gig bag, offering basic protection, but a hard case would be recommended for frequent travel or more demanding environments.
