Experience the Magic of the Iconic StingRay Humbucker

The RAY34's single alnico humbucking pickup carries on the StingRay's legacy of balancing vintage warmth and modern punch. With its focused low-mid boost, the humbucker brings out the most inspiring qualities of your playing. Notes bloom with character, giving you a dynamic range of tones.

Its focused sound cuts through the mix while retaining organic grit and personality that makes your bass work stand out.

Roasted Maple Neck Elevates Playability

The RAY34's roasted maple neck and fingerboard provide exceptional stability and a smooth, inviting playing feel. The roasted maple undergoes a proprietary heating process that allows the wood to dry slowly, enhancing its resonance and durability. The result is a neck that stays straight under the stresses of changing climates and seasons. Combined with a satin finish, the RAY34 neck plays ultra-fast while avoiding sticky friction. Jumbo frets give you loads of space for hammer-ons, pull-offs and fingerstyle techniques. The RAY34 fuses modern playability with vintage Music Man charm.

With a Lightweight Build Perfect for Gigs

The RAY34's contoured body hugs your body for hours of comfortable playing on stage. Its lightweight nyatoh body design minimizes shoulder, back and neck strain. The smooth forearm and belly carves allow unimpeded motion along the neck and strings. The sculpted upper bout is effortlessly accessible thanks to the immaculate upper fret access. Balanced and ergonomic, the RAY34 Sparkle Bass makes gigging a breeze. Plus, its vibrant sparkle finish options stand out under bright stage lighting. Express yourself with the eye-catching RAY34.
