Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around Jackson’s offset Spectra shape, the SBX IV is a four-string bass designed to keep its weight distributed by means of its enlarged upper horn. Its two medium-output humbuckers feed a three-band EQ, with blend, coil-split, and active/passive switching giving you several control paths from the instrument itself. The neck-through maple neck has graphite reinforcement, while the 24-fret, 34-inch layout provides the full working range for bass parts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or studio sessions where active and passive operation need to be selectable from the bass.
- Players who want pickup blending, coil splitting, and bass, mid, and treble adjustment in one instrument.
