Frequently Asked Questions
It's a little more articulate than a typical humbucker, offering a tighter low-end with a bit more clarity, but still retains that thick, growly character.
Yes, it's finished with a thin layer of lacquer, but rosewood tends to be naturally drier, so occasional oiling will keep it feeling smooth and prevent cracking.
The longer scale provides a tighter, more defined low-end and generally makes the bass feel more stable when playing lower notes, which some players prefer for genres like rock and funk.
