Description

Meet the Sterling by Music Man Short Scale StingRay bass — a proper little tone machine. Thanks to its ultra‑comfortable 30″ scale length and lightweight build, this StingRay is an absolute joy to play, whether you’re laying down grooves at home or smashing it on stage.
Despite the compact size, there’s no compromise on sound. The passive electronics team up with a punchy neodymium humbucker, delivering all that signature StingRay growl and authority. Add in the clever push/push volume boost and 3‑way switch — giving you parallel, true single‑coil and series modes — and you’ve got a seriously versatile bass on your hands.Key Features
30″ scale length: Shorter than a conventional 34″ scale length (the distance from bridge to nut), this creates lower string tension and reduces the overall size of the instrument for easy playability and stress-free finger stretches.
Roasted Maple neck: Lightweight, stable and resistant to warping. It’s got a beautifully smooth feel too, and boosts resonance for a lively playing experience.
Sterling by Music Man-designed humbucker: Powered by neodymium magnets for high output, clarity and punch. Delivers a tight low end, crisp highs and plenty of midrange bite.
Push/push volume boost: Need to jump out for a little solo of big chorus? Just push the volume knob to engage the volume boost and cut straight through the mix — no pedal or amp tweak required.

More info about this Product

Bass guitars form the backbone of a band’s sound, sitting between rhythm and harmony to give music depth, weight, and movement. Available in electric and acoustic forms, they focus on delivering strong, controlled low frequencies while remaining clear and responsive to playing dynamics. Factors like scale length, string type, and pickup design all influence tone and feel, allowing bass guitars to suit a wide range of styles and techniques. Whether laying down solid grooves or exploring more melodic lines, a good bass guitar anchors the music and brings everything together.
