Frequently Asked Questions
The TMB4 is noticeably thinner and flatter than the SR profiles, offering a faster, more modern feel, which might suit players used to slimmer necks.
The 240 mm (9.45in) radius is a fairly standard, comfortable radius that allows for easy bending without excessive fret buzz.
While versatile, the Dynamix pickups aren’t designed for extreme high-gain; they’ll get you a good growl, but may sound a little muddy pushed too hard.
