Frequently asked questions
Which is better for funk?
Both excel at funk, but the Stiletto-4 is listed specifically as ideal for funk with its punchy, controlled tone and fast playability. The CB-6 also handles funk well but adds progressive range and deeper EQ control, making it better for genre-blending.
What's the key difference in string count and range?
The Stiletto-4 is a 4-string bass with a 34-inch scale, while the CB-6 is a 6-string with a 35-inch scale. The extra strings and longer scale on the CB-6 provide extended low-end definition and melodic range.
Which has more tonal control?
The CB-6 offers more extensive shaping via its 3-band EMG B64 EQ system. The Stiletto-4 uses a simpler 2-band EMG EQ, which is faster to dial in but less flexible for precise tone sculpting.
Which is better for touring durability and comfort?
Both feature neck-thru construction and carbon fiber reinforcement for stability. The Stiletto-4 is lighter and designed specifically for reducing fatigue on long sessions, while the CB-6 prioritizes extended playability through its thin C-neck and offset body access.
