Frequently Asked Questions
In passive mode, the bass retains a more vintage, natural tone, while active mode boosts the signal and allows for greater EQ flexibility.
The matte finish is less reflective, which helps hide minor scratches, but it can still show fingerprints and requires careful handling to prevent more noticeable marks.
The 864 mm scale is slightly longer than a Fender’s 864 mm, offering a bit more string tension and a potentially tighter low-end response.
