Frequently Asked Questions

The Polar pickup aims for a more acoustic and natural tone, less 'honky' than many older designs, though it still has a distinct electric bass character.
Richlite is exceptionally durable and resistant to changes in humidity, often proving more stable than ebony in the long run.
It shines in jazz, folk, and contemporary music where a lower register is desired, but it’s less ideal for traditional upright bass roles needing a full range.
