Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a different beast; the shorter scale and pickups offer a more aggressive, punchy sound, lacking the full, rounded warmth of a traditional P-bass.
The neck is fairly standard, but the shorter scale might feel a bit cramped for those with very large hands; it’s best to try it if possible.
Amaranth is a dense, hard wood, making it quite durable and resistant to wear and tear – it’s a definite upgrade over rosewood at this price point.
