Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a good starting point for amplification, but lacks the nuance and clarity of a premium, dedicated acoustic bass pickup system – expect some compromise in tone.
It's a clever circuit that attempts to add some tube-like warmth and compression, but it won't replicate the complex harmonic character of a genuine tube amp - consider it a nice bonus, not a replacement.
The 42mm nut width is fairly standard, but on the wider side, so it might take some getting used to if you're accustomed to a narrower bass neck.
