Frequently Asked Questions
It's closer to a '60s slim C shape, a bit more rounded than some modern Fender necks, but still comfortable and manageable.
Okoume is generally stable, but it’s a slightly more porous wood – occasional finish checking is possible with significant temperature swings, but it's purely cosmetic.
The output is respectable, though not as hot as some active basses; it’ll sit nicely in a mix but might need a boost for really aggressive styles.
