Four-string electric bass with Music Man humbucker and active 2-band tone control
With the Sterling by Music Man SUB Ray 4 RW Fiesta Red, 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 rosewood 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 sound with the Sterling by Music Man S.U.B. Ray 4
The electric tone conversion of the Sterling SUB Ray 4 is done by a fat SBMM 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 RW Fiesta Red is completed by high-quality hardware. The classic SBMM Heavy Duty Bass bridge supports the strong bass sound with long sustain due to its massive construction, while the adjustable string riders ensure a 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.

What a great bass guitar Sterling by Musicman has developped! Whether you are new or an experienced bass player, a bass like this is mandatory to be in your collection. The sound it produces is incredible, as well as the price/quality! You can't get any other genuine-looking Musicman bass sound for that price! I still love to play on this bass since the first day I've bought it. 0% regrets, 100% happiness. I highly recommend it!
