Four-string electric bass with Music Man humbucker and active 2-band tone control
With the Sterling by Music Man SUB Ray 4 MN Black, the subsidiary of the American traditional manufacturer presents an interpretation of the legendary StingRay electric bass that convinces with an excellent price/performance ratio and flawless quality. The classic construction and the fat humbucker with active 2-band tone control promise the typical StingRay feeling.
The Sterling by Music Man SUB Ray 4 offers authentic StingRay feeling and sound at an affordable price/performance ratio.
Classic StingRay construction with Linde body
The construction of the Sterling SUB Ray 4 follows the classic StingRay, but the four-string has a body made of lime. In combination with the sixfold screwed maple neck and maple fingerboard, this promises a crisp primary tone that forms the perfect basis for pushing rock grooves with its fat low end and brilliant highs. On the narrow neck with its well-formed profile, the four-string invites you to play bass for hours.
Typical StingRay sound
The electric tone conversion of the Sterling SUB Ray 4 is done by a fat humbucker with open pole Pieces, which is placed in the typical sweetspot of the string vibration. Accordingly, the 4-string bass at the amplifier delivers a rich sound with a powerful push from the bass cellar and a concise high spectrum that is perfect for rocking riffs or assertive accompanying grooves. In addition, the Sterling SUB Ray is equipped with an active 2-band tone control to adjust the sound image.
Classic hardware in vintage style
The Sterling by Music Man SUB Ray 4 MN Black is completed by high-quality hardware. The massive construction of the classic bridge supports the strong bass sound with long sustain, while the adjustable string riders ensure perfect adjustment of intonation and string position. On the headstock, on the other hand, classic tuners in open vintage style promise a long-lasting and precise tuning of the bass.
