Frequently Asked Questions

The action will likely feel higher than a fretted bass, requiring more finger pressure and careful intonation – it’s a different playing experience.
It's adequate for small, intimate settings, but a higher-quality external preamp would offer more tonal control and power for larger stages.
Intonation on a fretless bass is inherently more variable, and you'll likely need to make adjustments, but the double-action truss rod allows for basic neck relief adjustment.
