Frequently Asked Questions
The Vintage-J aims for a similar sonic profile – a clear, articulate tone – but often has a slightly more pronounced midrange character and a touch more output.
The 'C' profile is fairly standard and generally comfortable, but the 38mm nut width might feel a little narrower compared to some modern basses with wider necks.
Yes, switching to passive mode dramatically reduces the bass's output and removes the onboard EQ, providing a more traditional, 'transparent' tone.
