Frequently asked questions
Which bass has the longer scale?
The C-5 GT features a 35" scale versus the Model-T Session's 34" scale. The longer scale provides tighter low-end definition and slightly increased string tension, favored in progressive and five-string applications.
What's the condition difference between these two?
The Model-T Session is brand new with factory setup and full warranty. The C-5 GT is B-stock, unplayed but cosmetically imperfect with light scratches on the fretboard—a deliberate discount for cosmetic-only flaws.
Can I play both in funk and studio?
Yes. Both are listed as suitable for funk and studio sessions. The Model-T excels in traditional funk and rock; the C-5 GT adds progressive applications and extended lower range, making it more specialized for studios demanding five-string depth.
Is the left-handed Model-T available in other configurations?
Based on the specs provided, the Model-T Session LH is a 4-string left-handed model. The C-5 GT shown here is right-handed only (no left-hand variant listed), so lefty players must choose the Model-T or seek alternatives.
