Frequently Asked Questions
It's brighter and more aggressive than a P-Bass due to the humbuckers; less fundamental warmth, more upper-midrange punch.
Laurel is generally durable, but it's softer than rosewood, so diligent cleaning and occasional oiling will help prevent wear.
The string-through design usually enhances sustain and resonance, creating a slightly fuller tone than a traditional tailpiece.
