Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Satin Black, the CBX IV is David Ellefson’s right-handed four-string signature bass. It combines a basswood solid body with a bolt-on maple neck, 34-inch scale, and 21 jumbo frets on a dark laurel compound-radius fingerboard. EMG HZ35 neck and bridge humbuckers connect to an active three-band EQ with volume and blend controls, so the pickup mix remains under your control. Its HiMass four-string bridge is designed for stronger attack, clearer notes, and enhanced sustain.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Four-string bass parts where a neck-and-bridge pickup blend needs quick adjustment.
- Pick or fingerstyle playing supported by a contour designed to provide a stable anchor.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed bass.
