Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The BTB865MS is a five-string neck-through bass with a multi-scale layout: 37 inches on the low B and 35 inches on the G string. Its ash top and back, okoume wings, five-piece maple/walnut neck, graphite rods, and panga panga fingerboard form the specified build. T1 pickups pair with a custom 3-band EQ, active/passive operation, and a three-position mid-frequency switch. The MR5S bridge offers adjustable saddles and string spacing, while 24 medium stainless-steel frets and an included hardshell case round out the instrument.
