Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Reaper-4 is a right-handed, four-string electric bass with a 34-inch scale, a swamp ash body topped with figured poplar burl, and a reinforced maple neck. Its ebony fingerboard carries 24 jumbo frets, while Schecter USA P-40 neck and M-40 bridge pickups run through master volume and blend controls. An 18V Darkglass Tone Capsule EQ adds bass, mid, and upper-mid contour adjustment. For setup flexibility, the Diamond Custom bridge accepts both string-through and top-load stringing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Four-string bass work requiring a 34-inch scale and two-pickup blend control.
