Frequently asked questions
Which is better for jazz and funk?
Both excel in these genres, but the Studio-4 FL is optimized specifically for them with fretless articulation and a design built for technique capture. The Studio-5 handles jazz-fusion and funk but offers broader versatility across harder-edged styles.
Can I play metal on the four-string?
The Studio-4 FL is explicitly not ideal for metal. The Studio-5 is designed for progressive metal and hard rock, making it the correct choice if those genres are priorities.
What is the key difference in pickups and electronics?
The Studio-5 uses EMG 40HZ pickups for balanced output, while the Studio-4 FL uses EMG 35HZ pickups with hotter output tuned for fretless tonal nuance. Both feature active 3-band EQ and 18-volt batteries, but the pickup pairing reflects each instrument's intended voice.
How do the neck profiles and playability compare?
Both feature a thin 'C' neck profile with neck-through construction and Ultra Access. The main difference is the fretted vs. fretless fingerboard; the Studio-5's 24 X-Jumbo frets on 16-inch radius supports fast playing, while the Studio-4 FL's lined fretless design prioritizes expressive bending and sliding.
