Detail 01
Agathis body
Light, soft, tonally plain wood used on budget instruments. Neutral rather than characterful, and dents more easily than ash.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Agathis-body 4-string electric bass with a maple neck, in pearl white. A first bass for someone learning standard rock and pop lines.
Strong match
Who this is for
- First electric bass for a student or self-taught beginner
- Rock, punk and pop lines in standard tuning
- A cheap backup or practice bass to leave at rehearsal
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a low B — this is a 4-string
- Left-handed players; this configuration is right-handed
- Anyone chasing a specific vintage tone from premium body woods
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Maple neck
Stiff and stable, which keeps relief consistent through humidity swings. Tends toward a bright, tight attack.
Detail 03
Single-coil pickup
Clearer and more cutting than a humbucker, but picks up hum near dimmers, monitors and computer screens.
Detail 04
4 strings
Standard E-A-D-G. Narrower neck and tighter spacing than a 5-string, which is easier for small hands.
Detail 05
Pearl white finish
Light finishes hide dings well but yellow slightly over years of sunlight exposure.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Amp, cable, strap and tuner are all sold separately
- 02Factory strings are usually old — new strings make the biggest difference
- 03Budget for a setup; action and intonation are rarely dialed in at this price
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a good beginner bass?
Yes. Standard 4-string layout, light body, low price. Its main limits are hardware quality, not playability.
02What do I need to actually play it?
An amp, an instrument cable, a strap and a tuner. None of those are included.
03Is agathis a bad body wood?
It's a budget wood — light and tonally neutral. Fine for learning; it won't give you a distinctive voice.
04Does it come in left-handed?
This is a right-handed bass. Left-handed players should look for a dedicated lefty model.
