Not sure about the battery, and it's already been packed up to go back so I can't check.
I'm asking for a replacement - hopefully they'll have one left...
Mine arrived yesterday... didn't work properly. A strange dead battery/step filter noise.
It's going back, but only after the shop trying to tell me it wasn't designed for bass...
The only 5 string I've ever played where the B sounds like it's supposed to be there, rather than an extra few floppy notes.
The greatest 5 string ever in my humble opinion, and such a killer growl.
I don't think the control plate on the black Ray is wonky as such - it seems to be a different shape to the natural one. Chunkier. Still, looks a big ungainly as result.
