Frequently asked questions
What's the key difference in string count and range?
The Stiletto Stealth-4 Pro EX is a 4-string bass optimized for traditional bass lines and funk precision. The Charles Berthoud CB-6 adds two high strings, extending range for chords, melodic passages, and modern composition work.
How do the EQ systems compare?
The Stiletto features a 2-band active EQ (master volume/blend plus EQ controls) for streamlined tone shaping. The CB-6 includes a 3-band EMG B64 EQ with master volume/blend, offering more granular control over frequency response.
Which is better for funk and rock?
Both excel in funk and rock, but the Stiletto's tight sustain and articulate midrange suit aggressive funk grooves, while the CB-6's punchy lows and resonant character work well in rock and modern session contexts.
How do neck and fretboard specifications differ?
Both share a thin C-profile neck and 35" scale, but the Stiletto uses mahogany with maple stringers and a 16" fretboard radius, while the CB-6 uses walnut with padauk stringers and a 20" radius for slightly more aggressive playing styles.
