1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A fretless four-string at an entry price. For players who want to try fretless without committing real money, and for second-instrument use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Existing bassists adding a fretless voice to their setup
- Players wanting the sliding, vocal fretless sound on a budget
- Home recording where fretless glide suits the part
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners — no frets means no intonation safety net
- Players who need fast, accurate lines under stage pressure
- Anyone expecting the same attack and definition as a fretted bass
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)
Thick output that supports sustained fretless notes well, at the cost of some upper-end string definition.
Detail 03
Rosewood fingerboard
Rosewood is relatively soft, so roundwound strings will groove the board over time. Flatwounds slow that down.
Detail 04
Basswood body
Light and tonally neutral, so the note character comes mostly from the fingerboard and your right hand.
Detail 05
Maple neck
Stiff and stable. On a fretless, neck straightness directly affects how cleanly notes speak.
Detail 06
Passive four-string layout
Standard EADG tuning and standard bass strings, so nothing about strings or amps is special-order.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Setup matters more here — a fretless needs low, even action to avoid dead spots
- 02Roundwounds wear the rosewood board; flatwounds are the usual fretless choice
- 03No amp, cable, strap or bag included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it have fret lines?
Position markers and lining vary by model and aren't confirmed here. If lines are essential to you, check the fingerboard photos before ordering.
02Can a beginner start on fretless?
It's possible but harder. You develop pitch by ear with no frets to correct you. Most players start fretted and add fretless later.
03What strings should I use?
Flatwounds are standard for fretless — smoother feel and far less wear on the rosewood board. Roundwounds give more growl but cut grooves.
04Is there a fretted version?
Yes, the LX200B in the same Metallic Blue finish. Same body, neck woods and pickup layout, with frets.
