A "Democratized" StingRay: The Music Man Spirit, Signed Sterling

With the Ray series, Sterling offers an accessible approach to the StingRay philosophy: a bass designed for efficiency, attack, and presence, while remaining easy to handle. The RAY4HH stands out in the range with its two humbuckers configuration, ideal if you're looking for more tonal combinations than a single pickup model, without losing the muscular and direct character associated with the Stingray format.

Who Is It For? Stage, Rehearsal, Home Studio

The Sterling Stingray RAY4HH suits both beginners who want an immediately rewarding bass and intermediate/advanced bassists seeking a reliable instrument for rehearsal and live performance. Its natural playground includes rock, pop, funk, metal, gospel, and anything requiring a bass that "speaks" in the low-midrange, with a clear attack and good definition.

Sound

This bass combines a basswood body, appreciated for its balance and even response, with a pair of precise and punchy ceramic humbuckers. The active electronics and 2-band EQ allow quick adjustment of the lows to lock in the groove and the highs to enhance attack and presence. Thanks to the 5-position selector, you have several usable voices: compact and powerful tones for rock/metal, as well as more nuanced registers for funk, pop, or melodic lines. The 33.86" / 860 mm scale length provides the tension and stability expected from a modern 4-string, with solid sustain and good note clarity.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, you can stick with the factory-installed strings: Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky Bass (CEB 2833).
