Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Ocean Turquoise Classic Vibe Active ’70s Jazz Bass V is a right-handed, five-string Jazz Bass with a poplar body, maple neck, and maple fingerboard. Two Fender-designed alnico noiseless single-coil pickups feed a 9V preamp, and a mini toggle changes between active and passive operation. Onboard controls cover master volume, master tone, pickup blend, plus bass and treble boost. Its 34-inch scale, 20 frets, 1.875-inch nut, and HiMass bridge define the core working layout.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bass parts that need an added low B string alongside a standard 34-inch-scale neck.
- Sets requiring a change between active and passive operation without changing instruments.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a four-string instrument; this is a five-string Jazz Bass.
- Left-handed players; this model is listed as right handed.
