Frequently Asked Questions
The 3-band EQ on the BB734 A is more refined than the simpler EQ found on some earlier models, offering a broader range of tonal adjustments.
The neck has a 'C' shape profile that's generally considered comfortable, but the 34 in scale length might require a bit of reach for smaller hands – it's not a super thin profile.
It's a little brighter and more articulate than a standard P-bass, with a slightly more modern edge while retaining a good amount of that classic growl.
