Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Player II Jazz Bass in Black is a right-handed, passive four-string built around two Player Series Alnico V single-coils. The neck pickup supplies fuller low-end support, while the bridge pickup brings a more pointed midrange voice; the two volume controls let you blend between them before setting the master tone. Its alder offset body, 34-inch scale and Modern C maple neck keep the familiar Jazz Bass layout intact, with rolled fingerboard edges, a 9.5-inch radius and 20 medium-jumbo frets for smooth movement across the neck.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsal and stage sets needing quick shifts from supportive lows to sharper bridge-pickup definition.
- Studio parts where separate pickup volumes help place the bass between fuller and more focused sounds.
- Players who want a full 34-inch-scale passive bass with a narrow 1.5-inch nut width.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this version is specified as right handed.
- Buyers who need a case or gig bag bundled with the bass.
- Players seeking onboard active electronics; the pickup system is passive.
