Frequently Asked Questions
The push/pull tone control likely switches between a mid-boost and a flat EQ setting, offering a subtle but useful tonal shift.
Being single-coil pickups, some hum is possible, especially with high-gain amplification; a noise gate or careful amp placement might be needed.
The 'C' profile is fairly standard, leaning towards a comfortable, modern feel; it's generally thinner than some of Markbass's more vintage-inspired neck shapes.
