- Is the Ray5HH worth it compared to the standard StingRay Ray5?
- The Ray5HH adds a neck humbucker and 5-way switching for more tonal options, making it worth it if you need versatility. The standard Ray5 is simpler and may suit those who prefer a classic single-pickup sound.
- What is the difference between the Ray5HH and the Ray4HH?
- The Ray5HH is a 5-string bass, while the Ray4HH is a 4-string. Both share dual humbuckers and active preamp, but the Ray5HH has a wider neck and different string spacing.
- Does the active preamp require a battery?
- Yes, the 9V active preamp requires a 9V battery to operate. You'll need to replace it periodically, and the bass won't produce sound without a working battery.
- What strings come on the Ray5HH?
- It comes with standard 5-string bass strings, typically nickel-wound. You can replace them with your preferred gauge and material.
- Is the neck profile comfortable for small hands?
- The neck is a 5-string profile, which some players find chunky. If you have small hands, try one in person if possible, as comfort is subjective.
- What's included in the box?
- The bass comes with a 9V battery, a truss rod wrench, and owner's manual. A gig bag or case is not included.
