Detail 01
Mahogany body
Mahogany pushes mids and softens the top end, so notes stay warm rather than clanky.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A full-size acoustic-electric bass at an entry price. For a bassist who wants to play unplugged at home and still be able to plug in.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Practicing bass lines without an amp in the room
- Coffeehouse and campfire sets where volume stays low
- A bassist adding an acoustic voice to a mostly-electric setup
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need to cut through an unamplified acoustic guitar and drums
- Anyone wanting a compact instrument — this is a large body
- Slap and pop styles; string spacing and tension favor fingerstyle
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Onboard electronics
You can go straight to a bass amp or PA without adding a pickup later.
Detail 03
Rosewood fingerboard
Rosewood is slightly softer and less bright than maple, which smooths string attack.
Detail 04
C-shape neck
The common rounded profile. Fills the palm without feeling chunky over long sets.
Detail 05
Acoustic bass body
Bass frequencies need air, so the body is deep and wide — bigger than any acoustic guitar.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Acoustic basses are quiet unplugged; expect to amplify in any group setting
- 02Check whether a battery for the electronics is included before your first gig
- 03Budget for a case — this body size will not fit a guitar case
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is an acoustic bass loud enough to jam without an amp?
Only with quiet company. Against an acoustic guitar you'll get by; add a second guitar, a cajon or vocals and you'll want to plug in.
02Can I use this as my first bass?
Yes. It's a standard bass tuned E-A-D-G, so everything you learn transfers directly to electric bass.
03Does it need an amp to work?
No. It plays unplugged like any acoustic. The onboard electronics are there for when you want more volume.
04What amp should I plug it into?
A bass amp or a PA. A guitar amp isn't built to handle low bass frequencies and can be damaged.
