Is the Kimandu 4 active or passive?

It is a passive bass. There is no onboard preamp, so tone shaping comes from the pickups and your amp.

What woods does it use?

The body front, neck and fretboard are all maple, which gives it a bright, snappy attack that mellows into a warm sustain.

Yes. The Kimandu 4 is a four-string signature model, so players who need a low B should look at five-string alternatives.

It follows Richard Bona's preferences: a fast neck, passive electronics and a natural, woody tone suited to jazz and fusion.
