Frequently Asked Questions
It's thicker and warmer than a typical Jazz Bass pickup, offering more low-end and a rounder tone, but it can be slightly less articulate.
The 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but it's on the slimmer side; those with very large hands might find it a touch narrow.
The hardware is functional for most playing styles, but heavy hitters might want to consider upgrading the bridge and tuners for increased stability and durability.
