Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The StingRay Short-Scale centers on a 30-inch scale, a Nyatoh body, and a single SBMM Neodymium humbucker. Its shorter scale reduces string tension, while the 22-fret maple fingerboard has a 9.5-inch radius. A 3-way rotary switch changes between parallel, single-coil, and series modes, and the push-push volume control adds a boost when engaged. At 7.5 lb., it brings a smaller short-scale format to players moving between sessions or venues.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Long gigs or studio sessions where reduced string tension is part of the setup.
- Travel between venues with a 7.5-pound short-scale bass.
- Parts that call for parallel, single-coil, or series pickup modes.
