Frequently Asked Questions
The fretless feel is smooth and requires a different technique – accuracy and intonation are crucial. It's a steeper learning curve than fretted basses, but very rewarding.
The pickups are adequate for many styles, but they're a common upgrade point. Expect a more defined and articulate sound with higher-end pickups.
The HB-40B is surprisingly decent for practice and small rooms. It won't rattle a stadium, but the TEC circuit adds a pleasant warmth and the integrated compressor helps level out the dynamics.
