Frequently Asked Questions
The MEC MC-5 has a significantly higher output, providing a more aggressive and powerful tone.
While it's versatile, the ceramic magnet’s brighter character might clash with a very vintage, warm-voiced bass; consider carefully.
Brushed chrome is generally durable, but it’s more prone to showing scratches than gloss finishes – careful handling is recommended.
