Frequently Asked Questions
The Vintage-J is slightly more refined and less aggressive than a standard Fender Jazz Bass pickup, offering a smoother, more articulate tone, but still retaining that classic growl.
The roasted maple neck has a satin finish that's very smooth to the touch, it's not oily and provides a fast, comfortable playing experience.
The 34-inch scale is longer, so it might take a little getting used to if you're accustomed to shorter scales, but the comfortable neck profile helps mitigate any stretching.
