Frequently Asked Questions
Splitting the humbucker gives you a more traditional single-coil J-bass tone, widening the versatility considerably for cleaner, more articulate sounds.
The aging process is subtle and doesn't negatively impact playability; it provides a smoother, more broken-in feel compared to a factory-fresh finish.
The 2-band EQ is simpler, focusing on broad tonal adjustments—bass and treble—making it easier to dial in a powerful, focused sound quickly.
