Frequently Asked Questions

It’s brighter and more versatile. The J-bass pickup adds clarity and cut, making it suitable for a wider range of genres.
The 'inCin' profile is generally quite smooth, but a light polish with lemon oil can further improve the feel, especially with roseacer fretboards.
The classic machine heads are adequate, but experienced players might consider upgrading to locking tuners for even greater tuning stability under heavy use.
