Frequently Asked Questions

The Fishman EQ offers a significantly wider frequency range and more precise control, minimizing the boomy or muddy characteristics often found in budget U-Bass models.
The neck is moderately thin, but the longer scale length (compared to a ukulele) provides a more familiar feel for bassists, though the string spacing is narrower.
Mahogany can be susceptible to feedback at higher volumes; however, the Fishman preamp's EQ controls offer some mitigation, and careful amp placement is key.
