## Questions & Answers

**Q: What’s the return policy?**
A: First one I had was damaged. I sent it back no questions asked and I live in Hawaii where shipping is expensive.

**Q: Does it have a low B or a high C string?**
A: High C is on a 6 string bass, not a 5 which has low B

**Q: Does the blue come with the maple fret board?**
A: Blue comes with a rosewood fret board

**Q: Can someone identify the correct string gauge for me to replace the strings? Thanks!**
A: The following was provided to me by a Music-man Ernie Ball Tech.
The StingRay 5 basses ship with Regular Slinkys. The 5 string pack (#2836 Green) gauge is 45 - 65 - 80 - 100 -130.

The StingRay 4 basses ship with Super Slinkys (#2834 Pink). Their gauge is very very similar at 45-65-80-100.
