Frequently Asked Questions
It's brighter and more articulate than a P-Bass, with a snappier attack, but still retains a good amount of warmth and growl.
It’s primarily cosmetic, but the denser Ekanga adds a touch of stiffness and a unique visual flair to the neck.
Single coils can be prone to noise, but the MEC pickups are relatively well-shielded and generally handle noise better than some vintage-style options.
