Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The David Ellefson 30th Anniversary Concert Bass CBX V is a five-string electric bass with a poplar body, shaped upper and lower contours, and a through-body quartersawn maple neck. The upper contour gives pick and fingerstyle players a stable anchor, while the lower contour balances the bass on a knee. A 12-16-inch compound-radius laurel fingerboard becomes flatter farther up the neck. EMG P and J pickups combine with a three-way switch, volume control, and bass/treble EQ. The Jackson HiMass 5-string bridge is designed to sharpen note attack, add punch and clarity, and extend sustain.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Pick or fingerstyle bass parts that use the upper contour as a stable playing anchor
- Technical lines that move up the neck as the compound fingerboard radius flattens
- Shaping bass and treble through the onboard two-band EQ
