Frequently Asked Questions

The longer scale length provides tighter low-end response and improved clarity compared to a standard 34 in bass, but might feel slightly less familiar initially.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape; it's not overly thick, but it does offer a good amount of substance, making it suitable for a range of hand sizes.
The pickups lean towards a warmer, more vintage tone – think Motown or classic rock – but they can handle more modern sounds with the right amp settings and EQ.
