Frequently Asked Questions

The 'D' profile is similar to a '60s or '70s Fender P-Bass, but potentially a bit more modern in its feel – not quite as thick.
The high-gloss finish is attractive, but poplar is a softer wood; be mindful of impacts to avoid chipping or scratches.
The single tone knob offers a slightly broader range of tonal shaping than a traditional P-Bass, allowing for a bit more versatility.
