Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The right-handed SR1320SB combines a 34-inch, four-string layout with an African mahogany body, sandblasted ash top, and contoured SR shape. Nordstrand Big Break pickups feed a three-band EQ, while the three-way mid switch offers more focused control when refining a sound. The EQ bypass changes the treble control into a passive tone control. Its Atlas five-piece neck uses panga panga, purpleheart, and KTS titanium rods; Gotoh machine heads and the adjustable MR5S Mono-rail bridge complete a setup intended for detailed studio work or regular stage use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio sessions where three-band EQ and selectable mid frequencies help refine a bass part.
- Live players who want an EQ-bypass option and adjustable bridge string spacing.
- Four-string players wanting an SR body with a 34-inch scale.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this is a right-handed instrument.
- Players looking for five or six strings.
