Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Mercalli 5 is presented as a Midnight Black extended-range bass with an emphasis on deep, clear output and a low B that carries sustain and punch. Its Korina solid body has a satin finish, joined to a bolt-on maple/walnut neck with a 34-inch scale, 12-inch-radius Rosewood fingerboard, and 21 frets. Two proprietary humbuckers, a three-way selector, and master volume and tone provide the control layout; the bridge is specified as high-mass and string-through-body.
