Sterling by Music Man StingRay RAY34 RW Antique Maple

Classically built StingRay

In designing the Sterling Ray34, Sterling by Music Man follows the proven specifications of the original since 1976. Accordingly, the four-string has an ash body connected to the maple neck and rosewood fingerboard by six screws. This combination promises a rich primary tone with crisp punch in the bass, fast attack and healthy sustain. With the Quilted Maple top, the bass also sets optical accents. In addition, the strongly profiled neck offers a comfortable basis for playing the bass, on which every groove can be comfortably placed.

Alnico humbucker and active electronics for classic sound

The electric tone conversion of the Sterling Ray34 RW Antique Maple is done by a fat Alnico Humbucker, whose characteristic position contributes to the development of the legendary StingRay sound. Accordingly, the 4-string at the amplifier delivers a powerful sound, whose rich low end punch and striking lisping in the treble lend enormous assertiveness to every note. In addition, active 3-band electronics on board allow separate adjustment of bass, midrange and treble for further adjustment of the sound image. The equalizer convinces with its musical mode of operation, which transforms even extreme settings into harmonic bass sounds.

Classic hardware equipment

In addition, the Sterling by Music Man Sting Ray is equipped with classic hardware. The strings on the body are held by the Sterling by Music Man Heavy Duty bridge, whose shape and construction was inspired by the proven Sting Ray bridge. Accordingly, its massive construction supports the sound development of the bass, while individually adjustable string riders guarantee a perfect string position and intonation. At the top the strings are held by four classic vintage style tuners.
