Frequently asked questions
Which bass handles drop tunings better?
The C-4 GT is better suited for drop tunings thanks to its carbon fiber-reinforced set-neck, which resists neck flex under increased string tension. The Model-T Session's bolt-on neck is lighter and more resonant but less ideal for aggressive detuning.
What's the tonal difference between these two?
The Model-T delivers punchy lows and clear mids with a warm, woody character from its swamp ash body and dual EMG pickups. The C-4 GT emphasizes extended high-end clarity and articulation, making it brighter and more cutting in a band context.
Is the C-4 GT B-stock worth the savings?
Yes—B-stock means the unit is unplayed with only minor cosmetic marks on the back and side. Structurally and tonally, it performs identically to new stock at a lower price point.
Which neck profile is faster to play?
Both feature a thin C-shape for speed. The Model-T's graduated neck (.826" to .905") tapers smoothly for consistent hand position; the C-4 GT's 3-piece design with carbon fiber adds structural rigidity without sacrificing playability.
