Frequently Asked Questions

The active electronics enhance the clarity and EQ flexibility, but they can be bypassed with the toggle switch for a more passive, vintage tone. You don't *need* a preamp, but it allows for more tonal shaping.
Pushing the treble knob bypasses the active electronics entirely, essentially switching the bass to a passive configuration for a different tonal character.
It will feel rounder and more curved under your fingers, which some find comfortable for bending and vibrato. It's a matter of personal preference, but it's something to consider if you're accustomed to a flatter profile.
