Frequently asked questions
What is the key bridge difference between these two baritones?
The M-1007B uses an Evertune bridge that electronically maintains perfect intonation across string-to-string play regardless of tuning or environmental changes. The SCT-607B uses a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design, which is a traditional passive system that relies on mechanical locking and sustain optimization.
How do the pickups differ in tonal character?
The M-1007B pairs a Fishman Alnico 3-Voice neck pickup with a Ceramic 3-Voice bridge pickup for articulate clarity through distortion. The SCT-607B features Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups with push-pull voice selection offering three palettes including a midrange-tweaked modern voice and single-coil character.
Are both instruments equally suited for extreme drop tunings?
Both handle extended-range playing, but the M-1007B's Evertune bridge eliminates intonation drift in extreme tunings without re-setup. The SCT-607B maintains tuning stability through mechanical locking but may require periodic adjustment in very low tunings.
Which is better for a player who switches tunings frequently during sets?
The M-1007B is superior for frequent tuning changes because the Evertune bridge automatically maintains intonation stability without manual adjustment. The SCT-607B works well for players who settle into one tuning or tuning range per performance.
