General

The StingRay bass guitar is Music Man's most famous design and this more attractively-priced version, is Sterling's Ray4. It has the same classic design and tones. There's a ceramic humbucker at the bridge that gives you all the power you need and you can tweak the sound to perfection using the 2-band active preamplifier and volume control. Note that the preamp requires 9V battery power. The Ray4 has a body made of basswood with a stylish Mint Green pickguard. The neck and fretboard are both made of maple and there are 21 medium frets. The large open machine heads ensure stable tuning.

Wrote the following about Sterling by Music Man StingRay Ray4 Mint Green bass guitar

Fantastisch leuke bas, zeker voor de prijs!
De bouwkwaliteit en afwerking zijn serieus goed. Lak is perfect en de hals is super fijn om op te spelen. De frets zijn goed gevlakt, steken niet uit en hebben ook geen scherpe kantjes, wat op veel "budget" bassen nog wel eens anders is.
Zo uit de doos, kon de afstelling wat beter (is toch eigenlijk altijd zo), maar de intonatie was goed afgesteld en stond zelfs nog gestemd. Ik heb de hals wat vlakker (lekker makkelijk met het wieltje) en de snaren wat lager gezet.
Zoals de vorige reviewer al opmerkte zijn de snaren inderdaad waardeloos, dus bestel meteen een ander setje mee.
De electronica is wel wat minder... Het voorversterkertje is redelijk, het element is behoorlijk aan de "hete" kant, waardoor 'ie snel overstuurd. Het is allemaal wel te temmen, maar had beter gekund.
Ik denk dat als je het element parallel zou schakelen ipv in serie, dat het al een hoop zou schelen (dus als je handig bent met een soldeerbout...)
De stemmechanieken voelen niet heel solide aan, maar ze houden de bas goed gestemd, dus prima.
Ik heb ook een "echte" Stingray uit 1993, dus het was leuk om ze te vergelijken.
Niet eerlijk natuurlijk, want de Amerikaanse versie kost al gauw 5 tot 6 keer zoveel als deze.
Daarom is deze dan ook meer dan indrukwekkend en zeker een aanrader!!!

Lekker basje. Maar niet lekker afgesteld vanuit de fabriek. Snaren waren k*t. Heb ik dus vervangen. Hals was te krom. Heb ik dus rechter gezet. Knoppen zitten er niet mooi recht op. Maar dat heeft geen invloed op hun functionaliteit dus dat vind ik niet erg. Action was te hoog. Zadels dus lager gezet. Maar de sound? Toppie!
