Frequently asked questions
Which bass is better for live rock and metal performance?
The P-4 Exotic is designed specifically for rock, metal, and live performance. Its fretted neck, EMG Metal Works P pickup, and High Mass Bridge prioritize cutting articulation, punchy low-end, and tuning stability under stage demands. The Stiletto is engineered for studio sessions and jazz where nuance matters more than projection.
Can I play funk and studio music on either bass?
Yes, both are listed as suitable for funk and studio work. The Stiletto excels in capturing technique detail with its fretless setup and dual EMG 35HZ pickups, while the P-4 delivers punchy articulation with its single EMG Metal Works P and 2-band EQ. Your choice depends on whether you want fretless expressiveness or fretted precision.
What is the main construction difference between these two?
The Stiletto uses neck-through construction with a mahogany body and bubinga top for maximum resonance and sustain. The P-4 features a bolt-on Roasted Maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement paired with a Swamp Ash body and Zebrawood top, prioritizing clarity and warp resistance for touring reliability.
Which pickup/EQ setup is more versatile?
The Stiletto's dual EMG 35HZ pickups with 3-band active EQ offer more tonal shaping options for studio work and nuanced styles. The P-4's single EMG Metal Works P with 2-band EQ is streamlined for cutting, aggressive tones that suit rock and metal but offer less frequency sculpting overall.
