Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for left-handed bassists, the RAY5 pairs a five-string layout with a low-noise humbucking pickup and a 2-band active preamp. The preamp gives direct control over low and high frequencies, while the adjustable bridge allows string height and intonation changes during setup. Its 34-inch scale, jabon body, roasted maple neck, and hard maple fingerboard form the core of the instrument, finished here in Chopper Blue.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Left-handed players who want onboard control of bass and treble frequencies.
- Players setting their preferred string action and intonation at the bridge.
Consider the trade-offs
