Just to let you know, the Ray5 in Walnut Satin isn't carried by Guitar Center. The Walnut Satin finish is exclusive for our USA Independent Dealers.

Let me know where you are located and I can direct you to one of our USA Independent Dealers.

Yes - but, it is the weekend now and I am at home. Any chance that you can hold on till Monday when I am at my desk and can give you accurate info?

Off the top of my head, not knowing the FLA landscape, I can tell you that Bass Central has a really good stock of our products.

800-545-8813 or [email protected] :)

Same as the four bangers with a B string.

Also will there ever be an HH 5 string?

The Ray35CA is something we will definitely take a look at.

As far as any basses with an HH setup, it's unlikely. There are certain parameters that we stick to so as to not encroach too much into EBMM territory, and the HH setup is viewed as one of those things. Not saying we would never, but, for now, nothing really being considered for the future.

Tried both Sub 4 and 5 at GC yesterday. The fit and finish were really good considering the price and I loved the neck on the 5. The sound resembles a USA EBMM, but IMO lacks punch, but that could be the old strings or the amp settings. I disliked the B string on the Ray 5, it was floppy even with the low action. If I had one, it would be the 4 string and I would replace the preamp by a 3-band EQ, but thats just my personal preference.

I also tried some SBMM ray 34s and I can say that the $400 difference is not justified, construction was not that better on the Ray 34 and you can get the Ray 4, add some top of line eletronics and still save some money!
I recommend the SUB without a doubt! they are some of the best bangs for the buck you can find!
