Detail 01
Mahogany body
Denser and warmer than alder or basswood, favoring low-mid weight over top-end snap. Also adds noticeable weight on a strap.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Four-string Schecter bass with a mahogany body, walnut neck and active electronics, finished satin see-thru black. For intermediate players wanting a warm, round low end.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock and R&B players who want body and warmth over clank
- Bassists sitting under a dense guitar mix without fighting it
- Players stepping up from a starter bass to something denser-sounding
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a low B — this is a four-string
- Players chasing bright, aggressive slap attack
- 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
Walnut neck
Stiff and dense, which tightens note definition and resists seasonal movement more than a plain maple neck.
Detail 03
Rosewood fingerboard
Softer and more porous than maple, taking a fraction off the attack and rounding the note edge.
Detail 04
Active pickups
Onboard preamp raises output and gives EQ at the instrument, so you adjust tone without walking to the amp.
Detail 05
See-thru black satin
Wood grain reads through the finish, so no two bodies look identical.
Detail 06
Offset body
Changes how the instrument hangs and where the balance point sits compared with a symmetrical body.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01The active circuit needs a battery; unplug the cable when you're done playing
- 02Mahogany is heavy — try the weight on a strap if back comfort matters
- 03Plan on a setup after shipping to correct relief and intonation
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is this different from the Studio-5?
This is the four-string version. Same family and active electronics, but no low B and a narrower neck, which suits players with smaller hands.
02Why does it need a battery?
The preamp is powered. Without a working battery the bass won't pass signal, so keep a spare in your case.
03Is it good for slap bass?
It leans warm and round rather than bright and snappy. You can boost treble on the preamp, but a brighter body wood suits aggressive slap better.
04Can I see the wood grain through the finish?
Yes. See-thru black is a tinted finish, so the grain shows through rather than being covered by solid paint.
