Frequently Asked Questions

The Tigerstripe ebony fingerboard is quite firm, providing a distinct feel that's a bit more responsive than softer ebony options, which some players will prefer for precise intonation.
While active, the MEC J/J pickups offer a surprising amount of tonal flexibility; you can dial back the treble to get a more rounded, vintage-inspired sound, though they inherently lean towards a more contemporary articulation.
At around 4.5 kg, it's a fairly substantial bass, but the balanced design and comfortable neck profile help distribute the weight; experienced players should handle it fine, but those new to 5-string basses might find it a bit tiring for longer gigs.
