- • The single pickup configuration limits tonal versatility compared to basses with multiple pickups.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's warmer and rounder than a P-Bass pickup, with less of the aggressive bite; think more vintage Motown or early rock 'n' roll.
The 'C' shape is generally comfortable, but the 38mm nut width might feel a little snug for those with very large hands.
The 4-saddle Mustang bridge is a decent design and generally provides good tuning stability, but professional setup is always recommended.
