Frequently Asked Questions
The solid body construction provides more sustain and a more focused tone than the traditional semi-hollow models, but it sacrifices some of that airy resonance.
Absolutely! It's a 4-string bass with standard 1/4in output, so it’ll work fine with most bass amps or PA systems.
It’s different, but not necessarily a compromise. The shorter scale gives it a unique feel and allows for easier chord voicing, though it won't have the same ultra-deep low end as a traditional bass.
