Frequently Asked Questions

Switching to passive mode reduces the bass's output and adds a more organic, slightly rolled-off character; active provides more aggressive output and EQ shaping.
While it requires a brief adjustment to string tension and intonation, the Betra's design is ergonomic and comfortable, not overly challenging for experienced players.
The ETS bridge offers superior tuning stability, especially important for a headless bass where small adjustments can have a large impact; it's exceptionally well-engineered.
