Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Cherry Punch brings the StingRay Special 5 H format in red: a right-handed five-string bass with one bridge neodymium humbucker. Its 18-volt active three-band EQ works through dedicated volume, bass, mid, and treble controls, so adjustments happen from the instrument. The build combines a lightweight contoured body with a roasted maple Modern C neck, 22 frets, and an 11-inch radius. Its extended-range five-string layout and high-gloss polyester body finish complete the specification.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live performance or studio use requiring an extended-range bass with onboard bass, mid, and treble controls.
- Longer playing periods where the lightweight, contoured body is a stated comfort feature.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this version is specified as right handed.
- Players after two humbuckers; the H configuration has one bridge neodymium humbucker.
