Frequently Asked Questions
The active circuit boosts the signal and allows for treble/bass adjustments, while bypassing it provides a pure, uncolored passive J-bass tone.
Morado is a denser wood; it might require a slightly longer break-in period, and some players find it a bit less forgiving than rosewood initially.
The quick-release bridge simplifies string changes significantly, and it also allows for easier adjustments to intonation and action.
