Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The SBX IV is a four-string, neck-through bass with an offset poplar body and a graphite-reinforced maple neck. Its pair of passive medium-output humbuckers work alongside blend, volume and active 3-band EQ controls, with a two-way switch for coil-split sounds. Pulling the volume selector bypasses the active circuit if the 9V battery runs out. The HiMass hardtail bridge has adjustable saddles for intonation work, while the 24-jumbo-fret compound-radius fingerboard is laid out for fast playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Performance setups needing an active circuit bypass if the 9V battery fails.
- Players who want to set intonation through adjustable bridge saddles.
- Four-string bass parts requiring humbuckers, coil splitting, and active EQ control.
