Frequently Asked Questions

The piezo pickup captures a more direct, 'present' arco sound, lacking the inherent warmth of a magnetic pickup, but the Pizzicato/Arco switch helps tame harsh frequencies.
It's a multi-laminate construction, offering a balance of acoustic resonance and reduced feedback—not fully hollow, but not entirely solid either.
The neck profile is thinner and more akin to an electric bass neck, making it more accessible for players accustomed to that feel.
