Frequently Asked Questions
What is B-Stock and how does it affect this bass?
B-Stock means this EHB1505MS is fully functional with no playability issues, but carries a small cosmetic chip on the upper horn. The damage is purely visual and does not impact tone, intonation, stability, or any aspect of performance.
How does the multi-scale neck improve intonation and playability?
The neck scales from 35 inches (889mm) to 33 inches (838mm), which balances string tension across all five strings and improves intonation consistency. This design reduces finger fatigue during extended play and ensures clearer tone from the low B string to the high G.
What kind of tone does the Nordstrand Big Split pickup deliver?
The Nordstrand Custom Big Split passive pickup provides strong, hum-free tone with articulate clarity across all strings and pronounced low-mids. The built-in 3-band Vari-Mid EQ allows tonal shaping while preserving the organic passive character, and an EQ bypass switch lets you go fully passive when needed.
Is this bass suitable for funk and progressive styles?
Yes. The EHB1505MS is specifically built for funk, progressive, and studio session work, with the articulate tone and tuning stability required for precise rhythmic playing and the 5-string range needed for modern genres.
What strings come with this bass and what is the string spacing?
The bass ships with .045 to .130 gauge strings tuned G-D-A-E-B. The MR5HS bridge offers 18mm string spacing and includes Schaller S-Locks for maximum tuning stability during performance.
