Frequently Asked Questions

The Polar Piezo captures a more acoustic and natural sound, lacking the overt 'electric' character of a magnetic pickup, but it’s exceptionally clear and responsive.
While the NXT construction delivers excellent resonance for its type, it won't replicate the complex overtones of a fully carved top, but it offers a good compromise for amplified use.
The WAV4c generally has a manageable neck profile, making action and intonation adjustments relatively straightforward, though experience with double bass setups is still beneficial.
