Description

The Sterling StingRay 5 RAY35 is a powerful 5-string bass that captures the essence of the iconic StingRay design. Built with a roasted maple neck and roasted maple fingerboard it offers smooth playability rock-solid stability and a bright articulate response. The vintage sunburst finish and black pickguard give it a classic look while the contoured nyatoh body ensures comfort across long playing sessions. With 22 medium frets and a 34″ scale length it delivers a familiar feel that bassists can trust on stage or in the studio. Equipped with a single alnico humbucker and a 3-band active preamp the RAY35 serves up the signature StingRay tone: punchy versatile and full of character. From deep driving lows to tight midrange growl and crisp highs it adapts easily to any genre. A 3-way toggle selector adds even more flexibility while the open-gear tuners and Sterling by Music Man bridge provide reliable tuning stability and sustain. Finished with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings the RAY35 is built to deliver that big bold StingRay sound with the extended range of a 5-string setup.

Bass Guitars

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.
