Frequently Asked Questions
The Heritage-3 allows for active EQ shaping, offering a wider range of tonal possibilities than a passive bass, but also provides a push/pull passive mode for a more traditional sound.
The C-shape neck profile is generally comfortable, but the 46 mm nut width might feel a little snug for those with exceptionally large hands – it’s a good fit for most, though.
The Sandblasted finish is primarily aesthetic, providing a unique texture; it doesn't significantly alter the tone but can offer a slightly more satin feel and may be a bit more forgiving to minor scratches compared to a high-gloss finish.
