Four-string electric bass with full neck, Alnico humbucker and active 3-band tone control, including case
With the Music Man StingRay Neck Through RW Black, the traditional company from San Luis Obispo in California presents the first electric bass with a full neck. Ash and maple are the classic body and neck woods, while the bass on the amplifier with Music Man Alnico Humbucker and active 3-band tone control skillfully translates the typical sound pattern of a continuous neck into long sustain.
The Music Man StingRay Neck Through is the first continuous neck model in the history of the Californian bass manufacturer.
The ergonomic neck/body transition of the Music Man StingRay Neck Through allows unimpeded access to the high positions.
StingRay with continuous neck
While classical woods such as ash for the body and maple for the neck are used to build the Music Man StingRay Neck Through, the continuous neck construction is a first for the Californian bass builders. Accordingly, the 4-string convinces with a solid basic sound, whose elegant tone development and boundless sustain lay the perfect foundation for supporting grooves. The strong, rounded neck profile offers comfortable playability, while the flowing neck and body transition allows unimpeded access to the high positions of the rosewood fingerboard.
Alnico Humbucker and active 3-band tone control give the Music Man StingRay Neck Through an extensive sound spectrum.
Classic Alnico Humbucker with active electronics
The electric tone conversion of the Music Man StingRay Neck Through is performed by a classical Music Man humbucker with Alnico magnet and open pole Pieces, whose characteristic installation position has a decisive influence on the sound. Accordingly, the Fourstring on the amplifier convinces with a powerful bass sound that is suitable for every musical style. The rich low end thrust and the radiant highs complement each other with the cultivated tone development of the continuous neck to a harmonious overall sound, which skilfully translates finger and plectrum playing as well as slaps. Furthermore, the Music Man Sting Ray Neck Through is equipped with an active 3-band tone control, which allows extensive, always musical variations of the sound character.
The Music Man StingRay Neck Through has a compensated saddle and Schaller BM tuners.
Classical Music Man Hardware
In addition, the Music Man StingRay Neck Through is equipped with perfectly tuned hardware. The fat Music Man Standard bridge with base plate made of hardened steel and stainless steel string riders ensures a tight brilliance in the sound and at the same time ensures a perfectly adjusted intonation and string position. At the headstock, the strings first run over the compensated saddle, which promises particularly clean sound reproduction, before they end at the Schaller BM tuners, whose high ratio guarantees an exact and stable tuning.
The sturdy, lightweight case is included with the Music Man StingRay Neck Through.
