Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around five strings and a 35-inch scale, the Reaper-5 gives an extended-range bassist a right-handed electric bass with a swamp ash and figured poplar burl body, a reinforced maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard. The P-50 neck and M-50 bridge pickups feed a master volume, blend control, and 18V Darkglass Tone Capsule EQ. Bass, mid, and upper-mid contour controls put shaping options on the instrument, while the bridge accommodates either string-through or top-load stringing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bass parts that call for a five-string instrument and a 35-inch scale length.
- Stage or studio setups where onboard bass, mid, and upper-mid EQ adjustment is useful.
- Players changing between string-through and top-load stringing at the bridge.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs a case or gig bag included with the bass.
