DISC Sterling StingRay Classic Bass RW, 3-Tone Sunburst

Full Description

Sterling by Music Man

The Sterling by Music Man StingRay Classic Bass is a stripped-back version of the iconic Music Man StingRay. Crafted in Indonesia, the Sterling StingRay Classic offers players a great-value entry-point into the Music Man family, with a specification that makes it a thoroughly professional instrument in its own right.

The Iconic StingRay Design

The StingRay body is designed with sleek contours to enable a comfortable playing experience whether stood up or sat down. The double cutaway design enables easy access to the top frets, so you'll have no problems playing solos and chordal parts. The Sterling StingRay Classic's body is constructed from mahogany for a warm and resonant sound, with the iconic pickguard and control plate giving you the same stand-out looks of the Music Man StingRay.

Smooth Playing Neck

A Hard Maple neck gives the StingRay Classic a smooth playing feel and a bright addition to your tone. The neck is mounted to the body with a contoured 5-bolt joint - designed to keep your hand free from any barriers at the top end of the neck. The 38mm nut is narrower than previous models and creates a tighter string gap for smoother string-crossing.  

Single Humbucker and Active 2-Band EQ

The single humbucker gives a raunchy sound that is ideal for modern styles of music. A 2-band active EQ allows you to sculpt your tone, with controls to boost/cut the treble and bass. Whether you want a fat bottom-end or crisp treble frequencies, the StingRay Classic's simple control setup lets you get the perfect sound with the minimum of fuss.

Stable Hardware

The standard Sterling bridge features 4 individual saddles, letting you set up the perfect string-action and intonation. The bridge is based on the high-mass Music Man bridge and provides great tuning stability with optimal string vibration transfer. Open gear tuners complement the bridge's stability, offering quick and accurate tuning. This hardware is combined with a quality set of tonewoods and strong 5-bolt neck joint to create a stable instrument that any professional would be happy use.
