Two Markbass J-style single-coil pickups provide traditional sounds with a deep yet transparent low end or wiry assertiveness that also reproduce the H-string with punch and precision. The active Markbass 3-band equalizer allows the precise adjustment of the tone. If desired, the bass guitar can be played in traditional passive mode, with a dedicated treble slider to adjust the sound.
