Frequently Asked Questions
It's warmer and more complex than a P-Bass, lacking the directness. Expect a more rounded, vintage tone with more upper-midrange presence.
The neck is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the 1.5 in nut width might feel a bit snug for very large hands compared to some modern basses.
The push/pull switch typically coilsplits the humbuckers, offering a brighter, single-coil-like tone for added versatility.
