CONS

Frequently Asked Questions
It offers a wider range of tonal control than many budget active systems, with a mid-frequency sweep for precise shaping, but it’s not as comprehensive as some high-end options.
It’s a satin finish, providing a smooth and fast feel without being overly sticky, which is great for comfortable playing.
20mm is a comfortable spacing for most players, but those accustomed to even wider spacing (like a traditional P-Bass) might find it a touch snug.
