Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
David Ellefson’s CBX V is a right-handed five-string signature bass with a basswood solid body, bolt-on maple neck, and 34-inch scale. Its dark laurel fingerboard carries 21 jumbo frets on a 12–16-inch compound radius that becomes flatter higher on the neck. EMG HZ40 humbuckers feed an active three-band EQ, while volume and blend controls let you set the pickup balance. The HiMass five-string bridge is designed for sharper attack, clearer notes, and enhanced sustain.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Five-string bass parts needing a controllable mix of neck warmth and bridge cut.
- Pick or fingerstyle playing that benefits from the upper body contour’s stable anchor.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is a right-handed bass.
