General
This Sterling by Music Man Ray34 is a more affordable version of the famous Music Man Stingray bass played by many professionals. This model has a beautiful Koa top and comes complete with a gig bag. It has the recognisable, uniquely-shaped, cutaway body, machine heads in a 3/1 configuration, a powerful Alnico humbucker pickup and an active 3-band EQ.
Ray34: warm, punchy and versatile
The mahogany body produces a warm sound with plenty of sustain and has the unmistakable egg-shaped pickguard and the 'boomerang' control plate. Punchy bass is assured by the Music Man Designed Alnico humbucker at the bridge. Thanks to the treble, middle and bass controls, the Ray34 has a highly-versatile sound making it suitable for styles like rock and funk. It's also great for slap bassists.
Robust construction
The Sterling by Music Man Ray34 has 21 frets on a maple neck that's attached to the body using 6 bolts. This robust construction guarantees optimal sound transference and sustain. The easy-access truss-rod nut on the end of the neck allows you to make adjustments very easily too.
