An iconic design, here made accessible

With its unmistakable StingRay shape, the RAY2 adopts the key aesthetic and ergonomic codes of this bass family, which has become a benchmark for modern, percussive sounds. This "Intro Series" version focuses on the essentials: efficient craftsmanship, uncomplicated passive electronics, and a distinctive sonic identity, making it easy to enter the StingRay universe with a direct and user-friendly instrument.

For which bassists and styles

The StingRay RAY2 is especially aimed at beginner to intermediate bassists who want a versatile 4-string bass, reliable for rehearsals and intuitive to dial in. Its punchy tone and snap work very well in rock, pop, punk, funk, and indie, with clear definition for both fingerstyle and pick playing.

The sound

The core of its tonal character comes from the ceramic humbucker placed at the bridge: it delivers a fast response, precise attack, and present mids, perfect for cutting through a mix. The passive electronics (volume and tone) favor an organic output and natural dynamics: opening the tone control adds brightness and bite; closing it yields a rounder, more controlled sound.

The combination of a poplar body and maple neck/fretboard promotes clarity, snap, and good note-to-note articulation. With its long scale, string tension remains stable and the low end stays firm, even when played aggressively.

Recommended compatible accessories

This bass comes with 45-105 strings, so you can stick with a 4-string bass string set 45-105 to maintain the same balance of tension and feel. For increased comfort, a standard strap is also a suitable choice (compatibility does not depend on the model).
