Basswood body
Light and soft-grained, with a mild midrange voice. Easy on the shoulder, but dents more readily than ash or alder.

RogueLX200B Series III Electric Bass Guitar - Pearl Black
warm
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Entry-level 4-string bass with two humbuckers and a rosewood board. For a first bass or a cheap backup you won't cry over.
Strong match
Who this is for
- First bass for a student or beginning player
- Backup instrument for gigs where gear gets knocked around
- Rock, punk and metal where the bridge humbucker's output helps
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting active EQ or onboard tone shaping
- Left-handed players — this is right-handed only
- Anyone needing gig-ready setup straight out of the box
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Two humbuckers (HH)
Hum-free output and a thicker, fatter tone than single-coils. Blending the two gives you a middle position with scooped mids.
Detail 03
Passive electronics
No battery to change, tone shaped at the amp. Lower output than active basses, so turn the amp gain up.
Detail 04
Maple neck
Stiff and stable, with a tight low end and clear attack. Holds a truss rod adjustment well through season changes.
Detail 05
Rosewood fingerboard
Slightly softer under the fingers than maple, and takes the edge off the attack. Needs occasional oiling to avoid drying out.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Budget for a setup — action and intonation usually need dialing in
- 02No amp or cable included; you need both to hear it
- 03Factory strings are often dull. Fresh strings change the tone a lot
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a good first bass?
Yes. It's a standard fretted 4-string at a low price, so nothing about it will confuse a beginner. Get it set up and it plays fine.
02Does it need a battery?
No. The pickups are passive, so there's nothing to power. Plug in and play.
03Is there a left-handed version?
Not this one — this is right-handed. Rogue does make a left-handed LX200BL in metallic blue.
04Can I gig with it?
Yes, with a proper setup and decent strings. Many players keep one as a knockaround backup for exactly this reason.
