Frequently Asked Questions
In passive mode, it delivers a classic P-Bass growl; active mode boosts the lows and adds a bit more clarity and sustain.
The 'C' shape is fairly standard and should be comfortable, but the 38.1mm nut width is slightly wider than some basses, so bigger hands might find it a bit snug.
The Hardtail bridge provides excellent tuning stability and contributes to a focused, punchy tone with good sustain, unlike floating bridges.
