Frequently Asked Questions
The neck profile is quite comfortable, but the ebony fingerboard is harder than rosewood, so it may feel a bit different – expect a more direct connection and potentially more buzz if your technique isn’t polished.
They’re surprisingly close! They capture a lot of vintage Jazz tone with a modern clarity and articulation that holds up well in a mix.
All fretless basses require more frequent tuning, but the bone nut and Marcus Miller bridge contribute to stability. Careful string stretching and a good setup are essential for consistent intonation.
