Frequently Asked Questions

Active EQ provides a wider frequency range and more precise control, but requires power – fortunately, the amp handles that. The tonal shaping is more flexible than a typical passive bass.
The Oval profile is generally considered comfortable, but it's not as thin as some modern basses. It offers a good balance between grip and playability, but a trial is always best.
They lean towards a modern, slightly brighter sound, but the active EQ allows you to dial back the highs. Expect a good punch and clarity, even at higher gain settings.
