Frequently Asked Questions

It's more ukulele-like, with a brighter, more percussive attack, but the pickup and solid body give it a surprising amount of low-end presence.
Yes, it’s best suited for simpler bass lines and rhythmic parts; complex soloing can be challenging due to the limited fretboard space.
Okoume is a reasonably durable wood, but it's not as robust as mahogany; it's fine for gigging with careful handling and a good gig bag.
