A Ray Designed to Democratize the Music Man DNA

With the Ray4 series, Sterling embraces the philosophy that made StingRay-format basses famous: immediate playability, powerful and clear sound, and a recognizable aesthetic. This RAY4HH Stealth Black version stands out with its two-humbucker configuration, ideal for bassists who want a single bass capable of handling multiple styles without complication.

For Whom and Which Styles?

The RAY4HH is suitable for beginners wanting to start on a serious bass as well as intermediate or advanced musicians seeking a reliable instrument for rehearsals and live performances. Its sonic palette makes it very comfortable in rock, pop, funk, metal, and contemporary music, with enough precision to hold up in dense mixes while retaining character.

The Sound

The alder body provides a pleasant balance, with present lows and musical mids, helping the bass to "cut through" without effort. The two ceramic humbuckers deliver a clear attack, solid lows, and sharp highs: perfect for pick playing, modern slap techniques, or rounder lines depending on the setting. The active electronics and 2-band EQ allow quick adjustment of punch and brightness, while the 5-position selector multiplies pickup combinations to switch from a massive sound to more defined textures, ideal for varying songs without changing instruments.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The bass comes factory-equipped with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky Bass strings (ref: CEB 2833): using the same reference is a safe bet to maintain the original feel and tension balance.
