Frequently asked questions
Are the pickups and electronics the same?
Yes. Both feature EMG 35DC bridge and EMG 35P4 neck pickups with a 2-band EMG EQ, master volume, blend control, and 9-volt battery power. Tonal capability is identical.
What's the difference in neck and fretboard specs?
Both have a 34-inch scale, thin 'C' neck profile, 24 Extra Jumbo frets on an ebony fretboard, 16-inch radius, and Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut. Measurements and construction are the same.
Why does one say 'not ideal for Jazz' and the other for 'Drop Tunings'?
The genre recommendations reflect marketing positioning rather than actual sonic or hardware limitations. Both basses are equally capable of jazz, funk, rock, and standard tuning; these are stylistic suggestions, not hard constraints.
What does B-stock mean on these units?
B-stock indicates minor cosmetic wear—such as marks on the back or side—but full structural and operational integrity. Both are unplayed or lightly played and offer savings versus new condition.
