Frequently Asked Questions
It's significantly hotter and has more upper harmonics, offering a more aggressive tone than the warmer, rounder P-Bass sound.
The '70s C profile is generally considered a medium-full shape, so it should be comfortable for most hand sizes, though very large hands might find it slightly snug.
It's a basic gig bag, suitable for transport and light protection, but a hard case is recommended for frequent gigging or travel.
