Frequently Asked Questions
The neck is a comfortable 'C' shape, slightly thinner than a classic Fender neck, which many find easier to play for extended periods.
The Cherry Sunburst finish is a nitrocellulose lacquer, which is relatively soft. While beautiful, it's more delicate and requires a little more care than a poly finish.
Absolutely! The standard pickup routing is quite common, so you'll have no trouble finding aftermarket pickups that will fit and significantly alter the bass's sonic character.
