A Popular Workhorse Bass

Bring the low end in with style with the Sterling By Music Man StingRay RAY2 bass guitar. This non-nonsense bass is an excellent choice for those looking for their first bass guitar or a workhorse that’ll get the job done. It offers a classic StingRay body shape carved out of poplar with a bolt-on hard maple neck and fingerboard that make fretting feel swift and comfortable. The StingRay RAY2's potent sound emanates from a passive ceramic humbucker made in-house by Sterling; meanwhile, master volume and master tone knobs to dial in your preferred sound. When it comes to building beloved instruments that are accessible to any musician, Sterling By Music Man is the epitome of top flight — and the StingRay RAY2 offers more of the same.

Trusted humbucking performance

The sound of a StingRay bass is one of the ear markers of its lasting legacy and low-end heritage. Sterling By Music Man imbued the RAY2 with a proprietary humbucker to seal the deal on this bass’s tonal capabilities. You’re sure to find plenty of thump and drive through this humbucker, with none of the hum associated with single-coils — just smooth, powerful tone that’s ready to work hard. After all, that’s the StingRay way!
