Description
The StingRay tone is iconic for a reason, and the RAY5 brings that signature punch to five strings. A single ceramic humbucker paired with a 9v active 2-band preamp gives you the growl and clarity StingRay basses are known for, with the extra low B you need for modern low-end work. Low-noise pickup design keeps things quiet on stage, so you’re hearing your playing, not hum.
Under your hand, the hard maple neck and matching maple fingerboard deliver a snappy, articulate feel across all 22 medium frets, with a 12″ radius that keeps action comfortable whether you’re locking into a groove or running up the neck. The 1.77″ nut width keeps five strings manageable without feeling cramped, and the 34″ scale keeps tension and tone right where bassists expect it.
Built tough for real gigging: a fully adjustable, heavy-duty fixed bridge holds tuning stability under aggressive playing, open-gear tuners give you precise pitch control, and the 6-bolt neck joint locks everything together for a solid, resonant connection between neck and body. The basswood body keeps overall weight reasonable for long sets without sacrificing resonance.
