Frequently Asked Questions
The neck is relatively slim for an upright, making it more approachable for electric bassists, but still retains a traditional feel.
It’s a step down in tonal complexity, lacking the nuanced overtones of solid wood, but still delivers a respectable, punchy rockabilly tone.
Pyramid strings are a common choice, but absolutely, you can change them to your preferred brand and tension – the tailpiece and bridge are standard and accommodate most string types.
