Frequently Asked Questions
It's warmer and less scooped than a P-Bass, with more upper-midrange presence; think a slightly more aggressive vintage tone.
Single coils can be susceptible to noise, but the MEC Vintage pickups are generally well-shielded and relatively quiet for single coils.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape; it's not particularly thick, so players with larger hands might find it slightly snug but generally playable.
