Frequently Asked Questions
It's got that Precision growl, but the Marcus pickups offer a bit more output and a slightly more modern, defined low-end.
The 'C' profile is fairly standard, but some with very large hands might find it a touch narrow; it's worth trying if possible.
It's a solid, well-built bridge; it's designed to handle the tension of a 5-string and should provide reliable performance for years.
