Frequently Asked Questions
Bypassing the active electronics delivers a more traditional, passive tone with a slightly more transparent character, great for vintage-inspired sounds.
While beautiful, Morado can dry out faster than rosewood, so it requires a bit more care, making it more suited for players already familiar with bass maintenance.
The Quad Coil pickup and active/passive switching offer a wider range of tonal possibilities than their more traditional humbucker or single-coil models.
