Frequently Asked Questions
The Jazz Bass single coil at the bridge adds a brighter, more articulate edge; it’s less muddy than a traditional P Bass, but still retains a good amount of growl.
The 'C' profile is generally considered a comfortable, middle-of-the-road shape; it's not as slim as a modern 'D' profile, but it's not overly thick either.
While the vintage-style tuners are functional, they aren't premium; more aggressive playing might benefit from an upgrade for ultimate tuning stability.
