STERLING BY MUSIC MAN Stingray Ray4 Pueblo Pink

Essential Information About the Sterling Stingray RAY4 Pueblo Pink Bass

• Active electronics with 2-band EQ: simple controls to switch from a warm sound to a more punchy attack.

• Modern comfort: maple neck, jatoba fingerboard, 22 frets, and long scale length for stable string tension.

The StingRay Philosophy, Sterling Version: Music Man DNA Within Reach

With the Ray4 series, Sterling by Music Man adopts the codes that made the Stingray format successful and makes them accessible without sacrificing the essentials: a proven construction, effective active electronics, and a recognizable sonic character. This Pueblo Pink Satin finish provides a strong visual identity while staying true to the instrument's "stage" spirit.

For Which Bassists and Styles?

The Sterling Stingray RAY4 is aimed both at beginners looking for a serious and versatile first bass and at intermediate bassists seeking a reliable instrument for rehearsals and band playing. Its temperament is particularly suited for rock, pop, funk, and contemporary music styles where a clear, dynamic, and well-grounded bass is expected.

Sound

The combination of a basswood body and maple neck delivers a balanced foundation: present lows, clean mids, and a crisp attack. The ceramic humbucker at the bridge adds punch and excellent definition, ideal for standing out in the mix. The active electronics with 2-band EQ allow quick tonal adjustments: more warmth for smooth lines, or more brightness and impact for percussive parts and pick playing.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The bass comes factory-equipped with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky Bass (CEB 2833) strings: this is an excellent reference to replicate exactly when changing strings to maintain the original feel and balance of the setup.
