Frequently asked questions
Which bass is better for funk and rock?
The Model-T Session is specifically voiced for funk and rock with articulate highs and punchy mids. The C-5 GT excels in funk and progressive styles but adds the complexity of a fifth string, which may or may not suit your needs.
What's the main difference in scale length and why does it matter?
The Model-T has a 34" scale (standard), while the C-5 GT has a 35" scale. The longer scale on the C-5 provides tighter low-end definition, especially valuable on the five low B string, but requires slightly larger fretting-hand reach.
Are these basses suitable for studio work?
Yes, both are built for studio sessions. The Model-T emphasizes versatility and articulate tone in a compact package, while the C-5 GT's five strings and sustain-focused design suit modern production with extended range.
What's the pickup difference between these models?
The Model-T uses EMG P/J configuration (one pickup at neck, one at bridge) with 18-volt active electronics for maximum headroom. The C-5 GT uses dual 40-series EMG pickups with 9-volt active electronics and a custom bridge for emphasis on sustain and punch.
