Frequently Asked Questions

They offer a more defined midrange and slightly scooped lows, providing a more modern, less muddy tone while still retaining that characteristic Jazz Bass growl.
The 'Modern C' profile is generally comfortable, but it's a relatively slim neck, so players with very large hands might prefer something with more girth.
Bolt-on necks generally have a slightly more immediate attack and a less sustain than neck-through designs, but the Hybrid II construction minimizes this difference.
