Frequently Asked Questions

Active electronics provide more output and a more sculpted, defined tone, often with a more aggressive edge compared to the more natural, open sound of a passive design. They also offer more precise EQ control.
A 47in radius is relatively flat, providing a quicker feel and allowing for easier bends, though it requires more precise finger placement to maintain intonation – a characteristic of higher-end fretless basses.
The wider string spacing (16.5 mm) might present a challenge for players with smaller hands, potentially requiring adjustments to technique or a preference for a bass with narrower spacing.
