Frequently Asked Questions

The pickup system provides a usable amplified tone, but it's a piezo system – expect a slightly 'woody' and less 'punchy' sound compared to magnetic pickups. The EQ helps shape the tone.
The neck profile is a fairly standard 'C' shape, but it's a bit wider than many electric bass necks due to the 42mm nut width – a comfortable transition for guitarists, but might feel different for some electric bass players.
The build quality is surprisingly solid for the price point. The binding and die-cast tuners are nice touches, and the overall construction feels robust, though not quite as refined as more premium instruments.
