Frequently Asked Questions
It's known for its precise frequency control, allowing more targeted adjustments than simpler active circuits, but it's not as complex as some high-end systems.
The 'C' profile is generally considered comfortable, but the 45mm nut width might feel a bit narrower for those with very large hands compared to some basses.
Bolt-on necks typically have a slightly more defined attack and a quicker response, but may have a bit less overall sustain than a neck-through design – a common trade-off for a faster feel.
