Frequently Asked Questions

Active pickups are inherently more prone to hum than passives, but the HBZ pickups are reasonably quiet with good shielding – typical for the category.
Yes, the 'C' profile is fairly standard and comfortable, leaning towards a slightly thinner feel, suitable for fast playing but potentially less suited for players who prefer a thicker neck.
The included HB-40MFX combo is self-powered, so no external power supply is needed – it runs directly off mains voltage.
