Frequently Asked Questions
The sandblasted finish primarily affects aesthetics; it allows the wood grain to be more visible. Tonally, it has minimal impact compared to other finishes.
The 'C' profile is generally considered comfortable for most hand sizes, but those with exceptionally large hands might prefer a slightly thicker neck.
Engaging the passive switch bypasses the onboard electronics, delivering a more traditional, warmer, and simpler P-bass tone, excellent for vintage-inspired sounds.
