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 body made of ash with a roasted maple neck and a recognisable yet uniquely-shaped cutaway body. Machine heads in a 3/1 configuration, a powerful Alnico humbucker pickup and an active 3-band EQ complete this potent electric guitar that also comes including a deluxe gig bag.

The Ray34: Warm, Punchy and Versatile

The ash 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 and, thanks to the treble, middle and bass controls, the Ray34 has a highly-versatile sound that makes suitable for styles like rock and funk, as well as for slap-style bassists.

Ultra-Robust Construction

The Sterling by Music Man Ray34 has 21 frets on a roasted maple neck that's been attached to the body using 6 bolts. This robust construction guarantees optimal sound transference and sustain, while the easy-access truss-rod nut on the end of the neck allows you to make adjustments without having to remove the strings first.
