Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Guild’s B-240EF is a four-string acoustic-electric bass from the Archback series with a lined fretless fingerboard. It combines a 30 3/4-inch short scale with a solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides. Onboard Guild Fishman-designed electronics let the instrument feed an amplifier, PA system, or recording DAW. The bass is finished in natural satin and includes a Pau Ferro fingerboard and bridge, along with a bone nut and saddle. Its line markers remain visible on the fretless fingerboard.
