Frequently asked questions
Which is better for slap bass?
The Model-T Session-5 is designed specifically for both fingerstyle and slap techniques thanks to its thin 'C' profile and responsive EMG pickup pairing. The Stiletto Custom-6 is also capable of slap but is voiced more toward articulate, cutting clarity across all techniques rather than slap-specific punch.
How do the neck profiles compare?
Both have thin 'C' profiles for fast playability. The Stiletto measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th; the Model-T measures 0.826" at the first fret and 0.905" at the 12th. The Stiletto is slightly thinner overall, while the Model-T's carbon reinforcement adds stability for aggressive playing.
Which pickup setup is more versatile?
The Model-T Session-5's EMG P5/LJ combination is specifically engineered for session work and tonal shaping across multiple genres. The Stiletto Custom-6's dual EMG HZ pickups are voiced for punchy articulation and cutting clarity, making them excellent for rock, metal, and progressive but more specialized in tone character.
Does string count matter for the genres listed?
Both are suitable for metal, funk, and progressive. The six strings on the Stiletto give more range for complex progressive arrangements, while the Model-T's five-string with focused low-end is equally capable for metal and funk grooves in a more compact, familiar format.
