Frequently Asked Questions
The comb-chambering reduces the bass's mass, resulting in a more resonant and responsive tone with a quicker attack, lacking some of the inherent 'chunk' of a solid alder body.
Yes, the Häussel pickups are standard sizes and can be replaced, though finding exact matches might require some searching – they're not a common aftermarket pickup.
The compound radius eases chording at the nut while facilitating easier soloing higher up the neck, but some slide players might find the transition less smooth than a consistently flatter radius.
