Frequently Asked Questions

The J-style bridge pickup adds a brighter, more articulate edge, offering more versatility than a traditional P-bass sound.
It’s possible, as roseacer isn’t always finished as smoothly as other fingerboard woods; a fret dress might be a worthwhile investment.
The included gig bag is functional and padded, but a hard case would offer significantly better protection for transport and storage.
