Frequently Asked Questions
The split coil offers a more defined and powerful low-end response with less of the brittle, 'thumpy' character common with piezo systems.
Yes, the 1:18 ratio provides good tuning stability, but regular string changes and proper setup are still essential for optimal performance.
A small bass combo amp with a 8-10” speaker will provide the best low-frequency response and clarity for this instrument.
