Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The BB435 brings the BB400 layout to a five-string, right-handed solidbody bass. Its passive split single-coil neck pickup and single-coil bridge pickup have independent volume controls, followed by a master tone control. The alder body, rosewood fingerboard, 34-inch scale, and 21 medium frets make up the playing platform, while the six-bolt neck joint is designed for stability. Custom-wound pickups aim for higher output gain while keeping the BB voice, and the five-saddle bridge provides individual string adjustment.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who need a five-string passive bass with individually adjustable bridge saddles.
- Studio or rehearsal work where separate neck and bridge pickup-volume control is useful.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who only want a four-string bass.
- Players seeking an active preamp, coil splitting, or dedicated pickup switching.
