Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Growler IV is a right-handed, 34-inch-scale four-string bass built around a contoured paulownia body, bolt-on maple-and-purpleheart neck, and 24-fret wenge fingerboard. Its Bartolini quad-coil bridge pickup feeds a hands-on control section: master volume, separate stacked treble/bass EQ controls for the two coils, and two mid-contour switches. That gives players direct access to detailed tonal adjustment at rehearsal, in the studio, or onstage. A Babicz FCHZ4BK bridge, Gotoh tuners, and the included Tobias premium gig bag round out a gig-ready package.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live sets where contour switches and separate coil EQ controls need to be adjusted from the instrument.
- Studio sessions requiring a four-string bass with 24 frets and detailed onboard tonal controls.
- Transporting the bass between rehearsals and shows with its included Tobias premium gig bag.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a left-handed bass.
- Players looking for more or fewer than four strings.
