Frequently Asked Questions
It provides a wide range of tonal options, allowing you to dial in everything from clean vintage tones to aggressive modern sounds, and the push/pull bass control adds a useful passive mode.
The C-shaped profile is generally considered comfortable, but the 46mm nut width might feel slightly narrower than some basses, so it's best to try before you buy if you have very large hands.
The Sandblasted finish has a slightly more open and resonant tone compared to a gloss finish, letting more of the wood's natural character shine through.
