The Sterling by Music Man Ray35 bass guitar is a perfect blend of classic design and modern technology, crafted for musicians who crave sonic versatility and comfort. This 5-string electric bass is equipped with a Music Man-designed alnico humbucking pickup, delivering a robust vintage-style tone that can transition seamlessly from punchy rock to smooth jazz. The Ray35’s 3-way pickup selector switch allows for instant access to single-coil sounds, adding an extra layer of adaptability to your performance.

At the heart of the Ray35's tonal flexibility is a 9-volt active preamp paired with a 3-band EQ, putting precise tone-shaping capabilities at your fingertips. Whether you're onstage or in the studio, you can effortlessly dial in the perfect sound for any musical setting. The bass's nyatoh body, complete with a curved armrest and belly cut, ensures hours of comfortable play without sacrificing style or sound quality.

Designed for fluid playability, the Ray35 features a roasted maple neck that is not only visually appealing but also incredibly stable and resistant to environmental changes. This neck design reduces neck dive, offering a balanced playing experience. The 21 medium frets and a top-loading bridge enhance the instrument's playability and provide rock-solid tuning stability, making it a reliable choice for any bassist.
