Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Pro Series Spectra Bass SB V is a five-string, 35-inch-scale model built around a multi-laminate poplar burl, walnut, maple, and mahogany body. Its through-body five-piece maple/walnut neck includes graphite reinforcement, a speed-neck contour, and a 12–16-inch compound-radius fingerboard. Nordstrand SB5 single-coil soapbar pickups at the neck and bridge use alnico V magnets, with bright, clean, punchy character described for the pair. A Jackson Single-String hardtail bridge supports individual note attack and sustain.
