Frequently Asked Questions
PU-Split essentially allows the humbucker to be wired as a single-coil, broadening the tonal palette to include more classic J-Bass tones.
The aged finish is intentionally treated to look vintage, so minor cosmetic imperfections are expected and part of the aesthetic; it's relatively durable but handle with care to preserve the look.
While simpler than multi-band EQs, the Sandberg EQ provides a focused, musical tone shaping – it's great for subtle adjustments but lacks the precision for radical tonal shifts.
