Frequently Asked Questions
The split coil provides a thicker, more powerful low end and slightly more output, while retaining the P Bass's characteristic growl – it's a modern twist.
The Modern C profile is generally accommodating, but it's a bit thinner than a vintage '50s C shape. Players with very large hands might prefer a slightly thicker neck.
Like any gloss finish, it's susceptible to scratches and dings, but it's quite durable and easy to polish. A good quality polish will keep it looking sharp.
