Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The right-handed Charles Berthoud CB-6 is a six-string, 35-inch-scale bass with an ash body and a walnut neck that runs through the body. A thin C profile, 20-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard, and 24 jumbo frets support movement across its full register. EMG 45Hz pickups at both positions pair with master volume, blend, and an EMG three-band EQ, giving you direct control over the pickup mix and onboard tonal shaping.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players building extended-range bass parts with a six-string layout and 35-inch scale.
- Stage or studio work that benefits from blending neck and bridge pickups at the bass.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
