Frequently Asked Questions
Ziricote adds a subtle complexity and warmth to the maple’s resonance, offering a slightly more nuanced and articulate tone with a touch of exotic character.
Häussel pickups are known for their clarity and articulation; the active electronics enhance this with precise EQ control, allowing for a wide range of tones from modern funk to aggressive rock.
Bolt-on necks generally have a slightly quicker response and more direct feel, which can translate to a more immediate attack and a slightly different sustain characteristic than neck-through basses.
