Description
There’s a reason the StingRay shape is burned into the memory of every bassist who’s ever stood in front of an amp — and the RAY24CA leans hard into that legacy. Sterling by Music Man built this one around the flat ‘slab’ body profile of the original, paired with a Butterscotch finish over mahogany that gives it real vintage presence on stage. It’s not just a look-alike; it’s tooled to deliver the punch and clarity that made the StingRay a rhythm-section staple in the first place.
Under the hood, a single ceramic humbucker feeds a 9v-powered 2-band active preamp, so you get that unmistakable StingRay push — tight low end, aggressive mids, and enough headroom to cut through a mix without fighting your amp’s EQ. The 34″ scale keeps string tension and feel familiar to anyone coming from a standard bass, while the narrower 38mm nut width (paired with the hard maple neck and 9.5″ radius) makes fast lines and chord work feel less like a stretch.
A 6-bolt neck joint locks things down for stability night after night, and the open-gear tuners plus single-action truss rod keep setup and maintenance straightforward. It ships strung with Ernie Ball 2834 Regular Slinky strings, so it’s gig-ready out of the case.
