Frequently Asked Questions
Passive mode provides a more traditional, warmer tone, while active engages the Noll electronics for more shaping options, adding brightness and punch.
Shellac is a natural finish and can react to humidity; regular cleaning and occasional application of a shellac-specific conditioner is recommended to maintain the finish's integrity.
The maple top adds a layer of complexity and sustain, offering a slightly brighter and more resonant tone than a solid alder body would provide, enhancing the bass's articulation.
