Detail 01
Fretless neck
Your finger stops the string directly, so pitch is entirely on you. Vibrato and slides become continuous rather than stepped.

1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fretless four-string, basswood body and rosewood board, with two humbuckers. For players who already know the neck and want sliding, vocal lines.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A second bass for a player adding fretless tone to their sound
- Ballads and soul lines where notes slide between pitches
- Practising ear and intonation at low cost
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- A first instrument — no frets means no help finding pitch
- Fast fretted rock parts that need instant, locked-in accuracy
- Players who want percussive slap attack; fretless softens it
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
Rosewood fingerboard, no frets
Soft, porous wood in direct contact with the strings. It marks over time and needs occasional oiling.
Detail 03
Two humbuckers (HH)
Fat and quiet, which suits the mwah tone fretless produces. Less top-end bite than single coils.
Detail 04
Basswood body
Light and tonally neutral, so the fretless character comes through rather than being coloured by the wood.
Detail 05
Maple neck
Stiff and stable, which matters more here — relief changes are harder to play around without frets.
Detail 06
Right-handed only
No left-handed version, and a fretless cannot be flipped and restrung without the board wear ending up wrong.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Roundwound strings cut grooves into a rosewood board; flatwounds preserve it
- 02An amp and cable are not part of the purchase
- 03Set the action low and even — high action makes pitch drift sharp
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can a beginner start on a fretless bass?
It is harder. Without frets, every note depends on finger placement and your ear. Most players learn on a fretted bass first, then move across.
02What strings should I use?
Flatwounds are the safer choice. They are smoother against the soft rosewood board and produce less wear than roundwounds, which are abrasive.
03What does mwah mean?
The vocal, sliding growl a fretless makes as the string sits on the bare board. It comes out most on sustained notes with low action.
04Can I play it with regular bass gear?
Yes. It takes a standard cable into any bass amp or interface, exactly like a fretted electric bass.
