Detail 01
Mahogany body
Dense and warm-leaning. Pushes low mids forward, which is why this sits thick rather than scooped or aggressive.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Left-handed 4-string Schecter with a mahogany body, walnut neck and active electronics. A warm, round-sounding bass for lefties playing rock and metal.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed players tired of limited stock and long waits
- Rock and metal where the bass needs weight under distorted guitars
- Players who want onboard EQ to adjust tone on stage
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone chasing a bright, snappy vintage Fender-style attack
- Players who want a passive bass with no battery to track
- Right-handed players — this is a true lefty build
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 stable hardwood, so the neck resists seasonal movement better than a softer single-piece neck.
Detail 03
Active pickups
Onboard preamp lets you cut or boost EQ at the bass instead of running to the amp between songs.
Detail 04
Left-handed
Built lefty from the ground up, not a flipped righty. Controls and jack land where a left-handed player expects.
Detail 05
Offset body shape
Weight sits differently on a strap than a symmetrical body, which usually means less neck dive standing up.
Detail 06
Satin honey finish
Satin is less slippery than gloss and does not show swirl marks, but it can polish shiny where your forearm rests.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Active electronics need a 9V battery; unplug the cable to stop the drain
- 02No case or strap is confirmed — budget for both
- 03Lefty basses are harder to resell locally than right-handed ones
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a real left-handed bass or a reversed right-handed one?
It is built left-handed. The body, controls and hardware are laid out for a left-handed player, not mirrored from a right-handed model.
02What does it sound like?
Warm and round, with the low mids doing the work. Mahogany and active electronics push weight rather than bite.
03Should I get this or the 5-string?
Take the 5-string only if you need notes below low E. Otherwise the 4-string has narrower string spacing and is easier to move around on.
04Does the battery affect the sound when it dies?
Yes. Output drops and the tone goes thin and distorted before it quits. Carry a spare 9V to gigs.
