Frequently Asked Questions
In passive mode, the bass offers a more traditional, warmer tone; active mode boosts the signal and provides tonal shaping via the EQ controls.
The neck is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the figured maple can be slightly thinner than some, so players with very large hands might find it a touch snug.
Torillo offers a different sonic signature – less aggressive than Warwick and generally more articulate than Sandberg, with a focus on clarity and vintage-inspired tones.
