Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Reaper-5 is a left-handed, five-string electric bass with a swamp ash body topped in figured poplar burl and finished in Natural Satin. Its 35-inch scale, maple neck with walnut stringers and two carbon-fiber reinforcement rods, 16-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, and 24 jumbo frets define the playing platform. A Schecter USA P-50 sits at the neck and an M-50 at the bridge, selected with master volume and blend controls. The 18V Darkglass Tone Capsule adds bass, mid, and upper-mid contour control.
