Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The SR605E is a right-handed, five-string solidbody bass with an ash body, multi-piece jatoba/walnut neck and rosewood fretboard. Its HH layout uses two Nordstrand Big Break pickups: split-coil designs housed in soapbar-style pickups. The pickup voicing is described as full-bodied and aggressive while retaining single-coil-like clarity, with noiseless performance. Medium frets complete a bass centered on a five-string layout and a matched pair of pickups.
