Sterling StingRay RAY35, Black Overview

The Sterling by Music Man Ray35 Bass is Sterling's more accessible tribute to the classic Music Man Stingray 5 Bass yet it still captures the best features of its Stingray. The Ray35 is crafted with a lightweight Swamp ash body which provides sweet, twanging tones with excellent sustain. The rosewood fingerboard offers rich sounds accompanied by the bright tones of the maple neck. Amplified with the 3-band active preamp, the Alnico magnets in the SBMM Humbucker produce a smooth yet strong tone. Equipped with a padded gig bag and Ernie Ball strings, this instrument is durable and sure to provide an epic bass performance.

Quality Music Man Electronics

Equipped with quality, Music Man designed electronics, the Ray 35 features a single bridge humbucker for a complex, strong sound. The alnico magnets within the humbucker work exceptionally well as a pickup, providing a smooth and musical tone. The built-in 3-band active preamp provides a clean signal to your amplifier for a variety of great, full tones. The ergonomic controls are smooth and are placed in a sweeping curve which makes it easy to adjust your sound in one movement.

Beautiful, Iconic Appearance

The Ray35 is instantly recognisable as a relative of the classic Music Man Stingray 5 Bass, with its clean lines and curvaceous shape. The black pickguard and open back tuners create a familiar, more retro look, and its classic black gloss will complement any style of music.

Maple Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

The Ray35 features a smooth maple neck which enables fast and comfortable playing. The bolt-on maple neck yields bright and twangy tones with amazing clarity, while the rosewood fingerboard creates bright sounds with warm lows.
