Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The right-handed SB4 is a four-string electric bass in Cobra Blue, built around a contoured Sterling body shape with a soft maple body, hard maple neck, and jatoba fingerboard. Its 34-inch scale and 22 frets provide the specified working range, while the ceramic humbucking pickup and 2-band active preamp give you onboard sound adjustment. Open-gear tuning machines, a six-bolt neck pattern, and a single-action truss rod round out its listed build.
