SKU: RAY25CA3TS
The Music Man StingRay5 is an iconic bass design, admired for its unique looks and for the punchy tone delivered by its potent-sounding bridge humbucker. To meet the demands of bassists looking for a more affordable version, the Sterling StingRay5 Classic encompasses the features that everyone loves about the original design but a lower price-point.
Construction
The StingRay Classic's body is formed from Mahogany, a deep-sounding tonewood that ensures a rich low-end; serving as a great foundation for the thick tone of the humbucker.
Joined with a bolt-on Maple neck, you can expect a snappy response, giving a fast attack to notes even when playing finger-style. Adorned with a Rosewood fretboard, this popular material feels smooth under the fingers, and sharpens the overall aesthetic of the instrument.
Electronics
The main reason why bassists love the tone of the StingRay is because of it ultra-punchy humbucker. Placed near the bridge to also produce a crisp top-end, the definition and clarity of this pickup allows your sound to cut through strongly in a mix, without getting buried.
This is also helped in part by the 2-band active preamp, which adds an extra dimension of fidelity. This also allows you to easily tweak your tone on-the-fly, and set the bass up to suit almost any amplifier.
