Frequently Asked Questions

The stacked J-bass pickup offers a more refined, less brittle high-end and eliminates hum, while retaining much of the J-Bass’s character.
It's a slightly flatter radius than some of their other models, offering a more modern feel and facilitating easier string bending, while still maintaining a comfortable playing experience.
The VTC subtly rolls off highs and adds a touch of warmth, emulating the sonic characteristics of vintage basses and providing a more rounded tone.
