Frequently Asked Questions
The Vintage P is much more balanced and nuanced; the AJB-1 is significantly hotter, tighter, and more aggressive, leaning towards a more modern sound.
Generally, yes, it fits standard P-bass routs, but you may need to adjust the pickup height to achieve optimal output and tone.
Seymour Duncan’s active circuit is well-designed; any latency is negligible and won’t be noticeable in typical playing scenarios.
