Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Satin Transparent Black RAY4 is a right-handed, four-string solidbody bass with a black pickguard, basswood body, maple neck, and jatoba fingerboard. A single active ceramic humbucker runs through a 9V preamp, putting volume, bass boost/cut, and treble boost/cut at your fingertips. Use those controls to make immediate tonal adjustments, then set individual intonation and string height at the fully adjustable heavy-duty bridge. It is a straightforward active-bass layout with practical adjustment points for regular playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Making onboard bass and treble changes during rehearsal or onstage.
- Adjusting individual string intonation and action at the bridge.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
