Frequently Asked Questions

It's a very good approximation of a vintage P-Bass pickup – a bit less refined, but with plenty of character and punch. Don't expect it to perfectly replicate a vintage Fender, but it's a strong contender for the money.
It's best suited for practice and home recording. While 40 watts is decent, it's not designed for loud stage environments; you'd want a larger amp for that.
The neck profile is advertised as a 'C' shape, but it leans slightly towards a modern C – not as rounded as some vintage necks. It’s comfortable and playable, but a little thinner than a truly old-school 'C'.
