Classic Teardrop Pickguard Evokes Iconic StingRay Style

Combined with the sleek double-cutaway body, the unmistakable pickguard makes a bold stylistic statement onstage. The S.U.B. StingRay RAY4 comes in a variety of eye-catching finishes, allowing you to choose the look that best fits your musical identity.

Capture Deep Lows With the Humbucking Pickup

The S.U.B. StingRay RAY4 is equipped with a single powerful humbucking pickup that accurately reproduces the entire frequency range of the bass. Compared to single-coil pickups, the humbucking design dramatically reduces unwanted noise and hum, letting your bass tones shine through the mix. The pickup excellently captures deep low end as well as punchy mids and smooth highs. It provides the ideal sonic foundation for the onboard active preamp.

Shape Your Sound With the Active Preamp

The 9V active preamp lets you dial in your ideal tone with dedicated bass, midrange and treble controls. Boost low-end thump and attack, add bite and cut to the mids and adjust high-end clarity to suit your needs. The Volume control sets your overall output level. Whether you want a smooth, warm vintage tone or an aggressive modern slap sound, the preamp equips you with the tonal control you need.

Precisely Adjust Intonation With the Bridge

This StingRay RAY4 features a sturdy, fully adjustable bridge with heavy-duty saddles. The bridge enables precise adjustment of each string's intonation so every note rings true up and down the neck. The individual saddles also let you customize string height and action to match your playing style. Combined with quality tuning machines, the solid bridge stabilizes tuning stability for reliable performance.
