Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The EHB605 combines a five-string format with an ergonomic headless body built for extended rehearsals, performances, and detailed playing. A slanted back, rounded edges, and the scoop behind the lower horn keep the body close while opening access to higher frets. Its two α1 pickups and 3-band EQ provide bass, mid, and treble boost/cut controls; switching out the EQ makes the treble knob a global passive tone control. The MR5HS bridge also allows hands-on string-spacing adjustment.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Extended sets where the slanted back and rounded body contours help keep the bass close to the player.
- Technical lines that benefit from access to the upper frets and an added fifth string.
- Recording or live setups needing active EQ adjustment or a quick passive tone-control option.
