Frequently asked questions
Which bass is better for left-handed players?
The Stiletto Studio-4 is purpose-built left-handed, while the Avenger is only available right-handed. If you play left-handed, the Stiletto is your only option between these two.
Can the Stiletto handle metal and hard rock despite its funk focus?
The Stiletto's 3-band EQ and 18-volt active system offer enough tonal flexibility for heavy genres, but its voice emphasizes punchy lows and extended highs suited to funk and studio work rather than the aggressive midrange cut of the Avenger.
What's the key difference in neck construction?
The Avenger uses set-neck construction, which generally produces tighter sustain and focus, while the Stiletto uses neck-through construction, which typically offers enhanced resonance and upper-fret access. Both feature identical thin 'C' profiles and 24 X-Jumbo frets.
Why does the Stiletto have an 18-volt battery and the Avenger a 9-volt?
The 18-volt system in the Stiletto provides greater headroom for dynamic range and tonal complexity in studio and live settings, while the 9-volt in the Avenger is optimized for the aggressive, cutting 2-band voicing of heavy music.
