Frequently asked questions
What's the main tone difference between these two basses?

Which bass is better for a beginner?

Why the price difference if both are mid-tier?
The Stiletto Extreme-4 LH commands its price through premium materials (mahogany body, figured maple top, black chrome hardware) and specialized left-handed construction, while the C-4 Plus uses basswood body construction and standard chrome hardware, making it more accessible.
Are the neck profiles similar?
Both feature a thin 'C' shape maple neck with 24 Narrow X-Jumbo frets across 34 scale, enabling similar playability and quick position changes. The main construction difference is the Stiletto's bolt-on mahogany body versus the C-4 Plus basswood body.
