Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two basses?
Handedness: the Omen Extreme-5 LH is configured for left-handed players, while the standard Omen Extreme-5 is right-handed. Both share the same neck profile, 35" scale, and dual Diamond pickups.
Do they sound different from each other?
The core tone character is similar (punchy, articulate), but the standard model's active 2-band EQ allows more frequency control than the LH model's standard active preamp. Both excel in rock, metal, and progressive genres.
Are the neck and fretboard specs identical?
Yes. Both feature a thin 'C' neck (0.787" at 1st fret, 0.866" at 12th fret), 24 X-Jumbo frets, 16" radius rosewood fretboard, and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut.
Which finish is more durable?
Gloss Natural finishes show fingerprints and dust more readily than Black Cherry. Both are standard polyurethane finishes; durability is comparable across normal playing conditions.
