Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Candy Red C4 Deluxe is a right-handed bass built around a lightweight poplar body, bolt-on hard maple neck, and jatoba fingerboard. Bartolini MK-1 pickups and the Markbass MB-1 preamp provide punchy mids, clear highs, and onboard sound adjustment. The MetalCraft M4 bridge gives you a choice between top-loading and through-body stringing. With a 34-inch scale, 24 frets, and a 15.75-inch fingerboard radius, it offers an extended playing range for grooves and upper-register lines.
