Frequently Asked Questions
It's brighter than a full-mahogany bass due to the spruce top, offering better clarity and projection.
While usable, the MagusPro is best for rehearsals and smaller gigs; a higher-end pickup upgrade would be beneficial for critical studio work.
The neck profile is a standard 'C' shape, fairly comfortable, but the walnut fingerboard can feel slightly less padded than rosewood, so it might be a bit tighter for very large hands.
