Frequently Asked Questions
It’s inspired by the vintage P-bass sound, but slightly more articulate and modern, lacking some of the inherent grit of an older, more worn-out pickup.
It's a satin finish – smooth to the touch but not overly glossy, allowing for comfortable playing and good grip.
It's a well-made bridge, designed for intonation accuracy and string stability, but doesn't have the same vintage aesthetic or adjustability as a classic three-stamped P-bass bridge.
