Frequently Asked Questions

The active preamp boosts the signal, adding more sustain and clarity, and allows for more aggressive EQ shaping. It provides a more defined and powerful sound than a purely passive bass.
The modern D profile is generally considered comfortable, but the 34in scale length and 42mm nut width might be a bit wide for those with very small hands – trying it out is recommended.
In passive mode, the bass delivers a more traditional, warmer tone; active mode provides a brighter, more aggressive sound with more output, but relies on battery power.
