Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Bass Workshop BTB605LM is a five-string, neck-through multi-scale bass with a 34–35 inch scale length. Its five-piece maple and walnut neck includes graphite reinforcement rods, joined to okoume body wings and topped with a rosewood fingerboard. T1 humbuckers use individually mounted, height-adjustable coils, allowing string-balance adjustment and use as thumb rests. Ibanez Custom Electronics add three-band EQ, a three-way mid switch, and EQ bypass with passive tone control. The MR5S bridge provides ±1.5 mm string-spacing adjustment.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Five-string parts where the 34–35 inch multi-scale design is part of the required setup.
- Players who want to set pickup-coil height for string balance or thumb-rest placement.
- Detailed onboard shaping with three-band EQ, selectable mids, and passive operation.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed instrument.
- Players who require a four- or six-string bass configuration.
