Frequently Asked Questions

It's noticeably less resonant than a full-hollow; expect a more focused, direct sound, but still with a pleasing warmth.
The neck is fairly standard, but the 38.5mm nut width offers a bit more room than some narrower basses, generally accommodating larger hands well.
It's designed for amplification, but lacks advanced EQ; for very loud stages, an external preamp might be beneficial to dial in a perfect tone.
