Frequently Asked Questions
The split coil offers more clarity and definition than a P-bass, with less muddiness in the low-end, while retaining a similar growl and warmth.
Bolt-on necks generally offer a snappier, more responsive feel, and are often easier to adjust, though some perceive a slight difference in sustain compared to set-necks.
The matte black finish is quite durable, but it will show fingerprints and smudges more easily than a gloss finish. Regular cleaning with a microfiber cloth is recommended.
