Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Butane Blue StingRay Special 5 H is a right-handed five-string bass with a bridge-position neodymium humbucker and 18-volt active three-band EQ. Its onboard volume, bass, mid, and treble controls keep tone changes at hand during a set or session. A lightweight contoured body joins a roasted maple Modern C neck with 22 frets and an 11-inch radius. The five-string format provides the model's extended range, and the body carries a high-gloss polyester finish.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio tracking or live sets where bass, mid, and treble adjustments need to be made onboard.
- Long performances where the lightweight, contoured body is a stated comfort feature.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; the listed orientation is right handed.
- Players looking for a dual-humbucker configuration; this is the single-humbucker H version.
