Frequently Asked Questions
The 3-band EQ is more refined than older models, offering a wider tonal palette and more precise control over mids, which are often lacking in bass guitars.
Like most single-coils, it can exhibit some inherent hum, but it's generally manageable and part of the vintage character. Noise reduction pedals can help if it’s a concern.
The 735A's neck is slightly thinner and more rounded than the BB2000, offering a faster feel, but still retaining a comfortable, substantial feel in the hand.
