Frequently Asked Questions
In passive mode, you get a more classic, vintage Jazz Bass tone; active mode boosts frequencies and adds more clarity and punch.
They significantly reduce noise compared to traditional Jazz Bass pickups, but no pickup is completely silent; it’s a noticeable improvement in hum reduction, especially with high-gain amps.
The 'Modern C' is generally considered a comfortable and versatile profile; however, players with very large hands might prefer a thicker neck shape, but it’s a solid all-around choice.
