Sterling by Music Man StingRay Ray35 Vintage Sunburst 5-String Electric Bass

General

A more accessible, affordable version of the pro-grade Music Man Stingray, the Sterling by Music Man Ray35 sets you up with a serious, style-packed 5-string bass complete with a nyatoh body finished with the same unique cutaway shape and 4-to-1 machine head layout. The control section comes loaded with a three-band EQ and a three-way switch for splitting the coils of the potent H-1 Alnico humbucker, flipping the tone from thick and beefy to bright. 

The Ray35: Warm, Versatile Punch

The nyatoh body provides a warm acoustic foundation with plenty of sustain while the single Music Man Designed Alnico bridge-pickup shapes surprisingly versatile punch that can be further tweaked in detail using the active tone controls. The perfect slap-bass, the Ray has been finished with a classic egg-shaped pickguard and boomerang-style control panel, completing its timeless look.

Professional Build

Six bolts secure the roasted hard-maple neck to sure-up the rock-hard stability while guaranteeing supreme vibrational transfer and sustain. For eased neck adjustments, truss rod access has been shifted to the end of the neck, so there's no need to remove the neck or the strings, while the 22 medium frets and 35" fretboard radius deliver that tight and familiar playing feel.
