Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Configured with five strings and a 35-inch scale, the Transparent Red Burst JS3VQ is the extended-range Concert Bass option in this group. A quilted maple top covers its poplar body, and the fully bound bolt-on maple neck adds graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint. The 24-fret amaranth fingerboard uses a 12–16-inch compound radius and sharkfin inlays. Its two high-output humbucking pickups work with two volume knobs and an active three-band EQ, giving you onboard control for refining the bass tone. Black hardware completes the finish.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Five-string bass work requiring a 35-inch-scale instrument and onboard active three-band EQ controls.
- Players who want a quilted maple top with 24 jumbo frets and two humbucking pickups.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
