Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Charles Berthoud CB-4 is an electric bass with EMG HZ Direct Mount pickups and an EMG 3-band EQ, covering sounds from modern to vintage. Its walnut-and-padauk neck passes through the ash body, reinforced by two carbon-fiber rods. The thin C-shaped neck, 34-inch scale, 24 jumbo frets and cutaway body establish its playing layout, including access to higher frets. A flamed maple top and matching headstock, abalone offset dots, Grover tuners, Graph Tech nut and Diamond Custom bridge round out the build.

Who this is for
