Frequently Asked Questions
It's designed for a more focused, defined tone—less muddy than some bass pickups—and offers a wider range of usable sounds when paired with different amps and effects.
Yes, it will feel different, but you can still cover a wide range of genres; just be aware of the reduced string tension and lower fundamental frequencies.
Okoume is a reasonably durable wood, but it's softer than mahogany, so handle with care; the high-gloss finish can be susceptible to minor checking with temperature fluctuations, typical for lacquered instruments.
