SLAP SWITCH
The slap switch activates the active electronics, boosting the bass and treble while slightly "scooping" the mids - this tone is ideal for funky slap-style basslines.
VINTAGE-STYLE BRIDGE WITH SADDLE GROOVES
This modern instrument offers a classic touch with a vintage-style five-string bridge with single-groove saddles, offering plenty of tuning stability and sustain.
"C"-SHAPED NECK PROFILE
The comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile of this instrument (the shape of the neck in cross section) is sculpted to impart a vintage-style playing feel. The most prevalent neck profile shape, it’s remarkably comfortable and is ideal for all playing styles.
