A Modern StingRay: The Music Man Spirit, the Gateway to the HH Sound

The Sterling by Music Man Stingray RAY4HH adopts the aesthetic codes and sonic DNA of the StingRay family while offering a contemporary and accessible approach. The dual humbucker (HH) version broadens the palette: more textures, more combinations, and a real ability to adapt to varied contexts, from studio to stage.

For Which Bassists and Styles?

This 4-string bass is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists who want simple-to-master active electronics but rich enough to cover many styles. It excels particularly in rock, pop, funk, metal, and contemporary music, where power, definition, and a bass that "holds" the mix effortlessly are sought after.

The Sound

With its two ceramic humbucker pickups, the RAY4HH offers a range from dense, punchy lows to tighter, more precise tones. The 5-position selector switch allows quick variation of pickup combinations to adjust the balance between attack, warmth, and bite depending on the track. The 9V active preamp and 2-band EQ provide a level boost and natural emphasis on key frequencies, ideal for achieving a present and controlled sound, even with lower tunings or energetic fingerstyle playing.
