The Sterling by Music Man StingRay RAY5 5-String Bass Guitar - Black brings the iconic StingRay design and powerful bass character to an accessible five-string instrument. Featuring a basswood body, hard maple neck and fingerboard, Sterling-designed humbucker, and 2-band active preamp, the RAY5 provides a versatile platform for players who need extended range and flexible tone shaping.
Its StingRay-inspired body features the familiar cutaway shape, slim profile, and iconic "banana" control plate. The Sterling-designed humbucker delivers a responsive, powerful sound, while the onboard master volume and 2-band active preamp allow you to shape your tone for everything from punchy walking lines and quarter-note thumps to aggressive slap playing.
With a 34" scale length, 22 medium frets, hard maple fingerboard, and fixed bridge, the RAY5 provides a stable and comfortable playing experience. Finished in Black with a gloss body finish, this five-string bass combines classic StingRay styling with practical modern features for rehearsal, recording, and live performance.
