The Sterling by Music Man StingRay DarkRay at a glance:
With the StingRay DarkRay, Sterling by Music Man presents an innovative StingRay model, which was designed in collaboration with the bass equipment visionaries from Darkglass Electronics. Under the black high-gloss finish, a Nyatoh body in a comfort design forms the basis of the new DarkRay. The six-way bolt-on on the back ensures a strong connection to the roasted maple neck with ebony fingerboard. The in-house Alnico humbucker delivers rich and powerful sounds that can be controlled comfortably and intuitively thanks to the five controls. The classic 3+1headstock in combination with the black Hardware perfectly match the modern design of this new product from Sterling by Music Man.

Custom Darkglass Active Preamp
The heart of the StingRay DarkRay Bass is the Custom Darkglass 2-band active preamp that Sterling by Music Man has given this instrument. This feature completely replaces a Darkglass Alpha Omega pedal, saving you the hassle of plugging and unplugging the pedalboard. The three available modes Clean (Preamp-Only), Alpha (Distortion) and Omega (Fuzz) can be conveniently switched between using the 3-way switch. Another highlight is the integrated LED ring on the second control. This clearly indicates the currently selected mode using color coding.
The typical Sterling by Music Man 3+1 headstock can also be found on this StingRay model.
Modern design
The classic black high-gloss finish in combination with the black Hardware and the typical Sterling by Music Man 3+1 headstock underline the iconic design of the DarkRay. In addition, the roasted maple neck with its ebony fingerboard and the black Pickguard fit perfectly into the modern concept of this Basses.
