Frequently Asked Questions
The split coil offers a similar low-end punch but with a slightly less 'scooped' midrange, providing a bit more clarity and definition.
While generally decent for the price, some minor fret-leveling or polishing may be needed for absolute perfection – a common occurrence at this price point.
Bolt-on necks generally have a slightly snappier attack and a more defined transient response compared to set-neck basses, which can contribute to a more articulate tone.
