Description
Not every bassist wants to stretch across a full 34-inch scale to get StingRay tone, and that’s exactly the itch the RAYSS4 scratches. Sterling shrunk the scale length down to 30 inches, closing up the fret spacing and easing off string tension so your fretting hand can relax a bit — great for smaller hands, long sets, or just wanting a different feel in your hands without sacrificing low-end authority.
Don’t mistake the shorter scale for a lightweight tone, though. The nyatoh body pairs with a neodymium humbucker to push out the kind of thick, powerful lows StingRay players chase. A 3-way rotary switch gives you a real spread of tonal options from the single pickup, so you can dial in everything from punchy and aggressive to warm and rounded depending on what the song calls for.
This is a StingRay built to be genuinely accessible — in feel, in price, and in the way it sits in your hands on stage. Highlights include:
- 30-inch short-scale neck — a first for the StingRay line
- Reduced fret spacing and lower string tension for easier playability
- Nyatoh body for a balanced tonal foundation
- Neodymium humbucker delivering thunderous, powerful low end
- 3-way rotary switch for a wide range of tonal shading
- Finished in Fiesta Red
Whether it’s your first StingRay or a comfortable alternative to your full-scale main bass, the RAYSS4 brings that unmistakable StingRay character to a shorter, friendlier package.
