Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Mike Leon’s B-4 is a four-string bass with a 35-inch scale, an extra-thin U five-piece wenge/purpleheart neck and a textured, sandblasted swamp-ash body. Its two Nordstrand Big Split pickups feed volume, balance and ABQ-3 three-band active EQ controls, giving you direct control over pickup mix and EQ shaping. Gotoh tuners and a Gotoh 404BO-4 hardtail bridge handle the hardware side. An ESP deluxe hardshell case is included for transport and storage.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Heavy rehearsal, stage, or studio parts needing pickup blending and active three-band EQ control.
- Bassists who want a 35-inch-scale four-string with 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a five-string bass; this is a four-string instrument.
