The Korena take
Built for right-handed players who want a five-string bass, the Surf Green GV5 Gloxy Val MP combines a 34-inch scale, 20 frets, a basswood body, and maple neck and fingerboard. Its Comfort C profile and bolt-on neck set the basic playing layout, while the Markbass JJ-style MB Instrument PRE provides 9V active-passive operation. The controls are designed for broad EQ boost or cut without clipping or distortion, and the included gig bag gives the instrument a dedicated way to travel.
