Frequently asked questions
Can I play both guitar and bass on these instruments?
No. The Reaper-6 is a six-string electric guitar with a 25.5" scale tuned to standard guitar pitch. The J-4 is a four-string bass with a 34" scale tuned an octave lower. They are separate instruments for different roles.
Which one is better for beginners?
Both are rated for intermediate, advanced, and professional skill levels, not beginners. The Reaper-6 suits players moving into metal and progressive work; the J-4 suits bassists in rock, pop, and funk bands.
How do the neck profiles compare?
The Reaper-6 has an ultra-thin 'C' neck with a 25.5" scale and 14" radius, designed for smooth legato and articulation on six strings. The J-4 has a Thin 'C' neck with a 34" scale and 16" radius, optimized for fast bass fretting and bending on four strings.
Do both have stable tuning on the left-handed models?
Yes. The Reaper-6 uses a string-thru hardtail bridge and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut; the J-4 uses a Custom Bass String Thru bridge and Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut. Both configurations are fully realized for left-handed players and support reliable tuning stability.
