Frequently Asked Questions

In passive mode, it offers a more classic, slightly scooped J Bass tone; active adds a bit more clarity and a broader frequency response.
The 'C' shape is generally comfortable, but the 1.875" nut width might feel a bit snug for those with very large hands.
The HiMass bridge adds more mass, which improves sustain and reduces unwanted vibrations, resulting in a tighter, more focused low end.
