A StingRay HH: classic spirit with an expanded sonic palette

With this HH version, the StingRay retains its visual identity and muscular character while adding a true "Swiss Army knife" dimension. The combination of two humbuckers and a 5-position selector switch opens access to multiple tonal signatures: from modern rock punch to tighter, more defined textures for funk, pop, or fingerstyle playing.

Who is it for, and in which styles?

This 4-string bass is aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a responsive, versatile instrument ready for the stage. Thanks to the active electronics and ceramic pickups, it excels in rock, metal, pop, funk, and fusion: ideal for maintaining a powerful presence in the mix while retaining precision on attacks.

The sound

The basswood body and maple neck duo provides an effective balance: present lows, clear mids, and a sharp attack. The ceramic humbuckers deliver a generous output level, with firm lows and harmonics that "bite" when pushing the playing with a pick. The 9V active preamp and 2-band EQ allow quick adjustment of low-end foundation and high-end brightness, while the 5-position selector switch multiplies tonal colors to shift from a compact and powerful sound to more defined combinations, perfect for fast lines or slap nuances.
