Frequently Asked Questions
Nylon strings offer a softer, more mellow feel with less string noise – it's a departure from the typical bass experience requiring adjustment.
The body microphone captures the resonance of the instrument's body, adding warmth and a unique acoustic character that can be blended with the magnetic pickups.
The long scale can present a challenge for players with smaller hands, although the finger ramp helps; a trial before purchase is highly recommended.
