The Ernie Ball Music Man DarkRay bass is was one darkly beautiful instrument. Decked out with a shadowy finish, blacked-out steel hardware and a light-consuming ebony fingerboard, the DarkRay appears as if it emerged from the farthest depths of the Mariana Trench. Buried in its select hardwood body is a custom Darkglass active preamp with two ferocious built-in distortion circuits, each with a distinct but equally devasting growl. A contoured body, comfortable roasted maple neck, and premium hardware package let you harness the DarkRay’s primordial intensity with ease. If you yearn for a bass guitar with a bit of a mean streak, then plunge into the darkness with the DarkRay Bass from Ernie Ball Music Man.
