Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around two ceramic humbuckers, the RAY5 HH gives a five-string player several pickup voices from one straightforward control layout. The five-way selector and 9V active two-band preamp put pickup choice plus bass and treble shaping on the instrument, useful when moving between parts in rehearsal or onstage. Its bayur body, hard maple neck, jatoba fingerboard, fixed bridge and 6-bolt neck joint form the platform for 22 medium frets and extended-range playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsals or stage sets that call for quick changes between five pickup-selector positions.
