Frequently Asked Questions

The 30-inch scale provides tighter, more focused low-end, with a slightly quicker response – it's noticeably more defined than a standard scale, but requires a bit of adjustment.
The pickups themselves are passive, but they are paired with an active preamp and Vari-Mid EQ, allowing for significant tonal shaping and output boost.
Panga panga is relatively stable, but maintaining adequate humidity levels is always good practice for any wood instrument to prevent cracking or movement.
