Essential Information About the Stingray RAY5HH Ruby Red Burst Satin Bass
- HH Configuration: two ceramic humbuckers for a wide sonic palette, from modern punch to rounder tones.
- 9 V Active Electronics with 2-band EQ: precise attack, solid lows, and quick adjustments on stage.
- 5-position switch: multiple pickup combinations to shift from a dense sound to more snappy textures.
- 5-string format: ideal for extending the range with a low B, without losing the StingRay spirit.
A StingRay HH: the iconic design, even more possibilities
With the RAY5HH, the StingRay adopts a decidedly versatile approach thanks to its dual humbucker configuration. This version emphasizes sonic flexibility while retaining the model's DNA: a bass designed to deliver a present sound in the mix, with character and immediate response under the fingers.
Who is this RAY5HH for and in which styles does it excel?
The Stingray RAY5HH targets intermediate to advanced bassists looking for a versatile 5-string for band, stage, or studio use. It is particularly comfortable in rock, funk, pop, metal, and contemporary music, whenever a bass that projects with a clear attack and well-controlled low end is needed.
The Sound
Its two ceramic humbuckers provide generous output, a sharp attack, and a firm low end, with a very effective modern edge. The active electronics and 2-band EQ allow quick adjustments of the low-end foundation and high-end brightness, while the 5-position switch multiplies tonal colors by playing with pickup combinations. The poplar body promotes a balanced and responsive tone, and the 5-bolt maple neck contributes to precision and definition, especially appreciated on a 5-string.
