Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around two Fender-designed alnico Noiseless single-coil pickups, this right-handed Jazz Bass combines a familiar two-pickup layout with active or passive operation. The mini toggle lets you move between modes, while volume, tone, blend, and stacked treble/bass boost controls put the adjustment at the instrument. Its Ocean Turquoise gloss-finished poplar body, bound maple fingerboard, pearloid blocks, and tinted maple neck give the bass a distinctly period-minded presentation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want to switch between active and passive bass operation without changing instruments.
- Rehearsal or recording setups that call for pickup blending plus onboard treble and bass adjustment.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this is specified as a right-handed four-string bass.
