Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Kiwi Green StingRay5 Special H offers a five-string format with a proprietary bridge humbucker and a 3-way selector. Its active 18V preamp puts volume plus treble, mid and bass adjustment at the player’s fingertips, intended to cover modern low-end sounds through vintage-inspired warmth. The rounded double-cutaway body is paired with a roasted maple neck, lightweight tuning machines and a sculpted 5-bolt connection that provides clear access across the 22-fret neck.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players building a five-string rig around active EQ and a single bridge-humbucker voice.
- Live changes that benefit from separate treble, mid and bass controls at the instrument.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a left-handed bass.
- Players committed to a four-string configuration.
