Frequently asked questions
Which bass is better for jazz and funk?
The Stiletto Studio-4 FL is purpose-built for jazz and funk with its fretless rosewood fretboard, flatwound strings for reduced finger noise, and EMG pickups tuned for articulate, punchy fretless tone. The UltraCure VI is designed for progressive and extended-range work, making it less ideal for traditional jazz aesthetics.
What's the key difference in string count and scale length?
The Stiletto Studio-4 FL is a traditional four-string fretless with a 34-inch scale, while the Robert Smith UltraCure VI is a six-string instrument with a shorter 30-inch scale optimized for extended range without excess size. The shorter scale on the VI aids ergonomic comfort across six strings.
How do the pickup systems compare?
The Stiletto uses dual EMG 35HZ pickups with a 3-band active EQ for comprehensive fretless voicing control. The UltraCure VI features three Seymour Duncan SJAG pickups with independent on-off slider switches, offering greater tonal variety but requiring more hands-on selection during play.
Are both basses suitable for left-handed players?
The Stiletto Studio-4 FL is explicitly left-handed. The Robert Smith UltraCure VI description does not indicate left-handed availability, suggesting it is right-handed only; confirm with the retailer if left-hand models exist.
