Frequently Asked Questions
In passive mode, the bass relies solely on the pickups' natural tone, offering a more vintage feel. Active mode engages the EQ, boosting or cutting frequencies for a more modern and customizable sound.
Absolutely. The ability to split the humbuckers into single-coil pickups provides a surprisingly sweet and clear tone, expanding the bass's versatility considerably.
The Ken Taylor profile is a comfortable 'C' shape with a slightly thinner feel than a traditional 'C', offering a faster playing experience, especially for players accustomed to more modern neck designs.
