Frequently Asked Questions

In passive mode, the bass delivers a more vintage, round tone, while active mode adds clarity, punch, and the ability to shape the EQ with the onboard boost controls.
While playable, the extended scale length might require some adjustment for those with smaller hands or shorter fingers; the neck profile is comfortable, but reach will be a factor.
The Torillo offers a slightly more aggressive and modern tone than some of those brands, with a distinct focus on clarity and a more pronounced low-end presence – it’s a different, but equally compelling, sonic signature.
