The Classic StingRay with Upgraded Visuals and Electronics
Take a second to gaze at the Sterling by Music Man StingRay RAY34HH’s gorgeous poplar burl top. It’s the kind of stunning instrument that attracts the eyes of other bassists when you’re playing live. For the StingRay RAY34HH, that stunning top is paired with a resonant nyatoh body for a balanced tonal foundation. Plug into your favorite amp, and the two Music Man-designed alnico humbuckers supply you with a powerful, punchy tone. Then, engage the 5-way pickup selector switch and the 3-band EQ to fine-tune your sound to taste. All in all, the Sterling by Music Man StingRay RAY34HH is a formidable addition to any musician’s stable of bass guitars.
Unleash near-limitless sonic potential
Two hard-hitting Music Man-designed humbuckers grace the top of the RAY34HH. They feature alnico magnets and large pole pieces for a vintage-style tone with enough power to thump with the best of them. The built-in 9-volt preamp provides plenty of clean headroom to work with. Plus, the onboard active 3-band EQ enables fine-tuned control over your sound. You’ll also be happy to know that the StingRay RAY34 features a 5-way selector switch, unlocking even more sonic flexibility.
Fluid playability up and down the neck
Ask Sweetwater bassists and they'll tell you that one of their favorite things about the StingRay RAY34HH is its roasted maple neck. Roasting is a process that entails wood being seasoned with high temperatures to release excess moisture, meaning the neck physically weighs less. For the player, this means you experience far less neck dive than you would compared to a standard maple neck. Beyond that, roasted maple is extremely stable and resistant to warping caused by temperature and humidity. With the RAY34HH’s roasted maple neck, you’ll enjoy smooth, dependable playability — no matter where you’re traveling.
