Frequently Asked Questions
It’s significantly more versatile; the stacked J adds clarity and articulation, while the M-style pickup provides a thicker, more aggressive tone unavailable on a traditional P-bass.
It's a more complex circuit; it affects both highs and lows, allowing for a wider range of vintage-inspired tones beyond just a simple treble roll-off.
The limited edition status commands a premium, reflecting the unique materials and craftsmanship; expect a noticeable price increase compared to non-limited models.
