Frequently asked questions
Which bass is better for metal and progressive rock?
The NP-4 is purpose-built for metal and progressive genres, with a neck-thru mahogany body, carbon fiber reinforcement, and EMG 35DC/35P4 pickups designed to deliver aggressive, cutting clarity. The Corsair's semi-hollowbody and warm, complex tone suit alternative rock and studio work better.
How do the neck profiles differ?
Both feature a thin C-shape at the first fret (0.787"), but the Corsair measures 0.866" at the 12th fret while the NP-4 measures 0.905". The NP-4's slightly thicker profile supports aggressive playing styles, while the Corsair's thinner neck enhances articulation and extended playing comfort.
What's the main tonal difference?
The Corsair's semi-hollowbody adds resonance and woody warmth with a 2-band active EQ (E and Q system), while the NP-4's solid neck-thru mahogany with carbon fiber delivers tight, focused punch with a standard 2-band active EQ. The Corsair excels in warm, complex tones; the NP-4 cuts through with clarity.
Which has more fret access and higher action capability?
The NP-4 features 22 extra-jumbo frets on an ebony fingerboard compared to the Corsair's 20 narrow jumbo frets, offering faster playing and more fret real estate. The NP-4's thicker neck at the 12th fret also supports higher action for aggressive techniques like slapping.
