Frequently asked questions
Are these two basses tonally identical?
Yes. Both feature the same dual EMG 40DC/40P5 pickups, 2-band active EQ, mahogany body with flamed maple top, 3-piece carbon-reinforced maple neck, 24 X-Jumbo frets, and 35" scale length. They deliver the same punchy lows, transparent midrange, and articulate definition.
What is the difference between SKU 0518 and 2742?
These are separate inventory units of the same model. Both are B-stock (cosmetically imperfect but structurally sound), so the practical difference is which specific unit has the least noticeable blemishes and which is currently in stock.
Who should buy a five-string bass with 35" scale?
Intermediate to advanced players seeking extended low-end definition for progressive, funk, metal, and studio work. The longer scale maintains clarity across all five strings and suits aggressive modern playing techniques, but is overkill for traditional jazz or beginner players.
Does B-stock affect tone or playability?
No. B-stock denotes minor cosmetic imperfections only—both units retain full structural integrity, complete electronics, and identical tonal performance compared to new retail units, while offering significant price savings.
