Detail 01
Two humbuckers (HH)
Hum-cancelling and high output. Fatter, louder signal that drives an amp harder, with far less buzz near stage lighting.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Four-string Schecter with two humbuckers and a maple fingerboard in black cherry. A mid-priced bass for aggressive rock and funk-rock playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Funk-rock and hard rock where the bass needs to cut
- Slap and pick players who want fast, bright attack
- A second bass replacing a muddy entry-level instrument
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players after warm, round vintage or Motown tone
- Left-handed players — this is right-handed only
- Anyone who needs notes below low E
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Maple fingerboard
Hard and slick with a bright top end. Emphasizes attack, so slap and pick lines stay articulate.
Detail 03
Four strings
Standard EADG. Narrower neck and simpler string muting than a five, and most bass parts are written for it.
Detail 04
Black cherry finish
Deep red that reads nearly black under stage light. Dark finishes show dust and fingerprints more than light ones.
Detail 05
Mid-range price
You get twin humbuckers and playable hardware without stepping into boutique money, so setup work is the main upgrade left.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Hot humbuckers can clip some amp inputs — engage the pad if available
- 02Maple boards show dirt quickly; wipe the neck down after playing
- 03Check whether a gig bag is included before budgeting for accessories
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this bass good for metal?
Yes. Twin humbuckers put out enough level to stay present through high-gain guitars, and the tone leans aggressive and cutting rather than warm.
02What fingerboard does it have?
Maple. It is harder and brighter than rosewood, which sharpens the attack on slap and pick playing.
03Can I slap on it?
Yes. The maple board and humbucker output favor the bright pop and snap that slap playing depends on.
04Is a left-handed version available?
This one is right-handed.
