Frequently asked questions
Which is better for slap bass?
The J-4's aggressive EMG Metal Works pickups and active EQ are specifically designed for slap technique, while the Model-T's warm character is better suited to fingerstyle and pick work.
Do both have the same neck comfort?
Both feature thin 'C' profiles and roasted maple necks, but the J-4 adds carbon fiber reinforcement rods for added stability. The J-4's 16-inch radius suits legato playing, while the Model-T's 12-inch radius accommodates modern and traditional lines equally.
What's the key electronics difference?
The Model-T uses passive P/J pickups with tone and dual volume controls, requiring no battery. The J-4 employs active EMG electronics with a 2-band EQ and master blend, powered by a 9-volt battery for broader tonal range.
Which sustains better?
Both feature high-mass bridges designed for sustain; the Model-T uses a string-through design while the J-4 emphasizes a high-mass bridge. Sustain differences will be minimal between them.
