Frequently Asked Questions

The active mode boosts the signal and adds clarity, while passive mode delivers a more vintage, rounded tone – a permanent tone switch allows for subtle tonal shaping regardless of the mode.
Franz Bassguitars typically uses a comfortable, modern 'C' shape neck profile, but it's slightly thinner than some vintage designs – a test play is always recommended for optimal comfort.
Olive wood is known for its density, potentially contributing to a slightly brighter, more focused tone with increased clarity and definition compared to softer woods.
