Frequently Asked Questions

In passive mode, the tone is more vintage and warmer, losing the mid-frequency control. The active mode provides the signature Marcus Miller sound and onboard EQ.
The C-shape neck is generally comfortable, but the 46mm nut width might feel slightly narrower for those with very large hands compared to some other 5-string basses.
The Modern-S bridge is designed for improved string spacing and intonation, offering a more comfortable playing experience, especially for fast runs and complex chord voicings.
