Need a 5-string bass that can help you take your tone to the next level? If you answered yes, then the Sterling by Music Man StingRay RAY35 warrants due consideration! This incredible bass comes with a Music Man-designed alnico humbucking pickup that really delivers the boom when you’re plugged in onstage. Plus, it has a 3-way pickup selector switch that allows you to access single-coil sounds at a moment’s notice. The StingRay RAY35 also has a 9-volt active preamp with a 3-band EQ for further tone shaping. Beyond the rock-solid electronics package, you’ll get a comfortably contoured nyatoh body with a curved armrest and a much-appreciated belly cut. Playability is stellar, too, thanks to the roasted maple neck’s easy-playing neck profile. It all adds up to a bass that serves up versatile tones and plays like a dream.
