Frequently Asked Questions

The TEC circuit simulates tube-like warmth and saturation, adding a subtle harmonic richness without true tube characteristics.
While serviceable, the parametric mids offer some flexibility, but more experienced players might desire a more comprehensive EQ solution.
The split coil design offers a slightly more modern, rounder tone than a P-Bass pickup, with less of the characteristic 'bite' and more low-mid emphasis.
