Frequently Asked Questions
Fretless basses require a significantly higher action to prevent string buzz; expect to spend time adjusting this and getting used to the feel.
While single coils can be prone to some hum, the Marcus Miller pickups are well-shielded and generally offer a good signal-to-noise ratio, especially when using the active Heritage-3 circuit.
Bolt-on necks often provide a brighter, more immediate attack, which suits the fretless style, but some might perceive a slight difference in sustain compared to a set-neck design.
