Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Riot-5 in Satin Aurora Burst is a five-string electric bass with a 35-inch scale, 24 narrow-jumbo frets, and an ebony fingerboard. A poplar burl top sits over its swamp ash body, while the bolt-on maple/walnut neck includes carbon-fiber reinforcement. The EMG 40PCSX neck pickup and 40JCSX bridge pickup work with the 18V EMG B-30 3-band EQ; master volume and blend controls are onboard. A five-saddle adjustable string-through bridge, Graph Tech nut, and die-cast tuning machines complete the right-handed configuration.
