Frequently Asked Questions
It's significantly more modern and articulate, lacking the vintage 'roundness' but offering greater clarity and a more aggressive low-end. The active pickups add a noticeable boost and tighter response.
The ovangkol neck has a comfortable, slightly rounded profile. While not a super-wide neck, the 52mm nut width offers ample string spacing, which should be manageable even for players with larger hands.
The weight is noticeable, especially during longer gigs. A good quality strap and potentially a bass support system are recommended for maximum comfort.
