Frequently Asked Questions
It offers a slightly more aggressive edge and a broader tonal palette, but retains the P-bass's fundamental warmth and growl.
Laurel is a durable wood, but like any fingerboard, consistent care and occasional oiling will keep it in top condition and prevent excessive wear.
The 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might prefer a slightly thicker neck shape for optimal grip.
