Four-string StingRay Bass with an elegant look and classic sound
The Sterling by Music Man StingRay RAY34FM Neptune Blue is an elegant version of the popular StingRay 4-String Bass with not only a dignified look, but also with the typical sound and playing characteristics of the modern classic. Besides the mahogany body with curly maple veneer, the Bass features a Roasted Maple neck with a pleasantly playable profile and the obligatory MM Alnico humbucker in the sweet spot of the string vibration. Classic Hardware in the form of a SBMM Standard Bridge and tuning stable Open-Gear tuners complete the StingRay RAY34FM Neptune Blue from Sterling by Music Man.
Thanks to the decorative maple veneer, the Sterling by Music Man StingRay RAY34FM Neptune Blue convinces with an elegant look.
Six screws and a neck plate guarantee a bombproof connection between the mahogany body and the comfortable roasted maple neck.
Classic construction with comfortable handling
For the construction of the StingRay RAY34FM, Sterling by Music Man relies on proven ingredients for a sustain-rich sound and first-class playing characteristics. Thanks to wide Cutaways and classic comfort shaping, the mahogany body promises comfortable handling of the bass guitar both on the strap and the thigh. The toasted and six-bolt maple neck in C profile with 43 mm nut width also promises agile playability in all positions and plenty of room for clean finger placement. A figured maple veneer also provides the elegant look of the electric bass.
A powerful Sterling by Music Man Alnico humbucker with large pole pieces and an active 3-band tone control promise typical StingRay tones.
Traditional StingRay sound
At the bass amp, the SBMM RAY34FM naturally convinces with the StingRay sound that has become a modern classic and feels at home in almost any genre. The SBMM Standard Humbucker placed in the sweet spot of the string vibration provides with fat pole pieces and Alnico magnets for an extremely powerful tone with massive bass foundation and silky brilliance in the treble. To customize the Bass sound, the Bass also comes with an active 3-band tone control.
Open-gear tuners in the obligatory "3+1" arrangement keep the StingRay RAY34FM securely in the correct tuning.
Reliable hardware
Last but not least, Sterling by Music Man equips the StingRay RAY34FM Neptune Blue with reliable Hardware that impresses with professional reliability and functionality. The bridge is the proven Sterling Standard bridge with four string riders for adjusting intonation and string action, whose solid construction supports the lively sound character of the E-Bass. At the headstock, open-gear tuners in the typical "3+1" arrangement also hold securely in the correct tuning.
