Frequently Asked Questions
The Verythin offers a more focused and articulate tone, less boomy than the Club bass, due to the thinner body and humbucker pickups.
The finish is primarily cosmetic, but the ageing process can subtly affect resonance. The real impact is in the aesthetic - a convincingly worn vintage look.
A clean or slightly overdriven tube amp will really highlight the warmth and vintage tone of this instrument – think Fender Deluxe Reverb or similar.
