FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need batteries to power the pickup?
No. This instrument uses a passive magnetic split-coil pickup, meaning it operates entirely without 9V batteries. Just plug into your amplifier or audio interface and play.

What type of strings are installed on this bass?
It comes strung with Kala Round Wound U•BASS® strings, giving you the familiar touch, tension, and bright attack of standard full-scale electric bass strings.

How do I adjust the neck relief?
The bass features an exposed spoke-wheel truss rod at the base of the neck (between the 22nd fret and the pickup). Insert any standard adjustment rod or small hex tool into the wheel holes to tweak your neck relief instantly without taking off any plates or covers.
