Frequently Asked Questions
The modern position offers a more direct signal, resulting in a tighter, more aggressive low-end and a clearer midrange, less 'woody' than a traditional placement.
The controls are straightforward, but the 2-way circuit provides a surprising amount of tonal flexibility; experimentation is encouraged, but a good starting point is easily achieved.
Bolt-on construction generally provides a snappier attack and a slightly more defined upper-midrange response compared to a set neck, contributing to a more articulate and responsive feel.
