Frequently Asked Questions
The 2-band EQ is straightforward and focused; it's less about radical tonal shifts and more about subtle shaping of bass and treble, which is ideal for classic sounds.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the 6-string width might feel a little wider than standard 4-string basses, so trying it out is recommended.
Paulownia offers a lighter, more airy tone than denser woods, providing a quicker response and a more resonant low-end; it’s not as thick as Mahogany but offers a different kind of character than Ash.
