Frequently asked questions
Which bass is better for jazz?
The Model-T Session LH is specifically listed as suited for jazz with its P/J pickup setup delivering classic articulate highs and punchy mids. The Stiletto Custom-6 is not recommended for traditional jazz, though its technical responsiveness could work in fusion contexts.
What's the key difference in playability between these two?
The Stiletto has a slightly thinner neck at the first fret (0.787" vs 0.826") and a 16" radius fretboard, while the Model-T Session has a 12" radius. The Stiletto's 35" scale versus the Model-T's standard 34" scale affects string tension and reach. Both feature thin 'C' profiles, so comfort difference is minimal.
Why is the Stiletto better for metal and progressive music?
The Stiletto's six-string range, active 2-band EQ, and punchy articulate tone with strong midrange presence are voiced specifically for cutting through dense mixes in heavier genres. Its extended fretboard range supports the complex compositions typical of progressive and metal styles.
Which one has more traditional bass tone?
The Model-T Session delivers more classic bass voicing through its passive P/J pickup pairing, which is the industry standard for rock and jazz. The Stiletto's active electronics and six-string configuration produce a more modern, articulate tone with greater tonal flexibility.
