Frequently Asked Questions
The Delano pickups offer a smoother, more rounded tone with less aggressive high-end than many stock J-Bass pickups, providing a warmer and more vintage character.
While a five-piece neck *can* offer slightly more sustain, the Sandberg’s bolt-on construction is expertly executed and delivers excellent response and a quicker feel.
Switching to passive mode disables the EQ circuitry, resulting in a more transparent, 'vintage' tone with reduced output. It's great for a more natural, less processed sound.
