Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Passive 34-inch alder bass with a dedicated low-end woofer pickup and independent volumes. For working players who want two distinct voices from one instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio work where you want a separate deep low-end voice
- Players who blend a fat neck tone against a punchy midrange pickup
- Pro-level players committed to passive electronics
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need frets past 21 for upper-register soloing
- Anyone wanting onboard active EQ or a boost circuit
- Left-handed players — this is a right-handed instrument
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
Woofer hi-cut switch
Rolls treble off the neck pickup only, so you can keep the DiMarzio bright while the low end stays round.
Detail 03
Separate front and rear volumes
You can run either pickup solo at full output or set a blend and switch between them without touching a knob.
Detail 04
Passive electronics
No battery to fail mid-set, but all tone shaping happens at the amp or preamp rather than onboard.
Detail 05
Alder body with spline joint
Alder gives an even midrange with no strong voice of its own; the spline joint is a reinforced multi-piece body construction.
Detail 06
Maple neck and maple fingerboard, 10 inch radius, D shape
Maple boards add attack and clarity. The 10-inch radius is moderately flat and the D profile fills the palm.
Detail 07
34 inch scale, 21 frets
Standard long scale, so any regular bass string set fits. 21 frets stops short of the two-octave mark.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Passive circuit means your amp or preamp does all the tone shaping
- 02Maple fingerboards show wear and dirt faster than rosewood
- 03Expect a setup check after shipping — neck relief moves in transit
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it need a battery?
No. The electronics are passive, so there's nothing to power and nothing to die mid-gig. Tone shaping happens at your amp or outboard preamp.
02What does the woofer pickup actually do?
It's a dedicated low-frequency pickup at the front position with its own volume and a hi-cut switch, so you can add deep low end without muddying the midrange pickup.
03How many frets does it have?
21 frets on a 34-inch scale. That covers standard range but stops short of the 24-fret two-octave reach some soloists want.
04Will regular bass strings fit?
Yes. It's a 34-inch long-scale four-string, so standard long-scale sets work. The bridge is solid brass with counter-sunk string mounting.
