Frequently Asked Questions
In passive mode, the bass offers a more traditional, round tone, while active mode unlocks the Heritage-3’s EQ capabilities for more aggressive or tailored sounds.
The 'C' profile is generally considered comfortable, but it’s on the slimmer side; larger hands might find it a bit narrow, though still playable.
The Super-J’s are brighter and more articulate than vintage Fender Jazz pickups, offering more clarity and definition without sacrificing that classic J-bass character.
