Frequently Asked Questions
Switching to passive mode mellows the high-end and reduces the overall output, giving a more classic, rounded tone. Active mode provides more aggressive punch and EQ shaping capabilities.
Absolutely! The transition from wider at the nut to a thinner radius at the heel eases chording and makes soloing more comfortable – great for varied playing techniques.
The HiMass bridge adds mass to the instrument, increasing sustain and improving resonance while also offering better tuning stability under heavy playing conditions.
