Frequently Asked Questions
The Modern C profile is a bit thinner and more 'modern' feeling than a traditional Fender P-bass neck, but still comfortable and familiar.
The amaranth fretboard has a factory finish that is generally smooth, but some players might prefer to polish it further for an even slicker feel.
While it can handle some heavier styles, the single pickup and shorter scale limit its low-end extension and sustain, making it more suited to rock and punk than full-on metal.
