Sterling by Music Man RAY35 5 String Bass in Honey Burst

Based on the Stingray line of Music Man Basses, the Ray offers bassists the chance to own a Musicman, even if they're not minted! The Ray's feature active electronics, select tonewoods and 3-band EQ - just like their bigger brothers. You even get a heavy duty gig bag so now you can enjoy the accolade of owning a Music Man for less.

Here's what Musicman say about the Ray

The Light weight Swamp Ash body is available in Glossy Natural, Black and Honeyburst finishes. Maple neck & fingerboard standard in Natural finishes, Rosewood for Black and Honeyburst. Music Man designed humbucking pickup, Music Man Designed 3 band Active Preamp and Bridge are standard equipment. 3 way switch offers Series and Parallel wiring combinations.

Fantastic bass and great value .i had been looking for a five string for a while now and the Ray 35 fitted the bill perfectly. The low B is very tight and floppy unlike a few BIG name basses I've played . It's very hard to tell the difference between the Ray 35 and the top of the range stingray 5 , I borrowed my mates for a while and TBH couldn't tell the difference except maybe the electronics are not as sophisticated but I I use a sadowsky preamp into a markbass amp so that's that sorted.
All in all these basses are a steal at the price and I'm seriously thinking of getting a 4 string as well and if they bring out a Fretless version I will be in bass heaven .
Check one out they are terrific.
