Frequently asked questions
Which bass is better for funk?
Both excel at funk, but the Stiletto Studio-5 FF is specifically tuned for modern funk with its punchy, aggressive EMG pickups and cutting tone, while the Model-T 4 delivers punchy funk grooves with a warmer, more classic character.
What's the difference in neck feel?
Both feature a thin 'C' profile for ergonomics. The Stiletto is slightly thinner at the 12th fret (0.866" vs 0.888") and includes a fanned fret layout to manage five strings; the Model-T offers a traditional non-fanned approach optimized for four strings.
Can I get the Stiletto as a left-handed bass?
The product descriptions provided do not list a left-handed Stiletto option; only the Model-T 4 is explicitly offered in left-handed configuration.
Which has more control over tone?
The Stiletto Studio-5 FF offers more comprehensive shaping with its 18-volt active system and 3-band EMG EQ; the Model-T 4 uses passive volume/volume/tone controls for simpler, more traditional tone adjustment.
