Frequently asked questions
What is the main practical difference between these two basses?
The Custom-4 LH is a four-string designed for left-handed players with a 34-inch scale. The Custom-5 is a five-string for right-handed players with a 35-inch scale, adding a low B string. Handedness is the primary deciding factor unless you specifically want extended range.
Do the pickups and electronics differ significantly?
Yes. The Custom-4 LH uses dual EMG 35HZ pickups with no active EQ—just passive volume and blend control. The Custom-5 uses dual EMG 40HZ pickups with a 2-band active EMG EQ for greater tonal flexibility and punch in modern contexts.
Which is better for progressive music?
The Custom-5 is specifically listed as ideal for progressive styles and its five-string range opens more compositional possibilities. The four-string Custom-4 LH is suitable for funk and rock but less ideal for progressive work that often exploits extended lower range.
Are both basses suitable for studio and live work?
Yes, both list studio sessions and live performance as intended uses, and both offer professional-grade construction, active electronics, and modern tone suitable for either context. The choice hinges on your handedness, string count preference, and tonal needs.
