Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a swamp ash body, poplar burl top, and satin Aurora Burst finish, the Riot-4 is a four-string electric bass with a 34-inch ebony fingerboard and 24 narrow-jumbo frets. Its bolt-on maple/walnut neck is reinforced with carbon-fiber rods. The EMG 35PCSX neck pickup, 35JCSX bridge pickup, and B-30 3-band EQ give you volume, blend, and EQ control from the instrument. A fixed four-saddle string-through bridge, Graph Tech nut, and die-cast tuners complete the hardware.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players shaping their bass sound from the instrument with pickup blending and three-band EQ controls.
- Four-string bass work that calls for a 34-inch scale and access to 24 frets.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; the bass is configured for right-handed use.
- Buyers who need a case included with the bass.
