This is the Ray34, a model inspired by the Stingray, released by Sterling, a more affordable brand of Music Man products including the Stingray. It features a Music Man-designed humbucker pickup and a 3-band equalizer. This bass covers everything from powerful rock tones to delicate melodies and crisp slap sounds. It also replicates Stingray-specific features such as a well-balanced body, 3-over-1 tuning machine configuration, and a 6-bolt-on neck. The bridge, which sandwiches the saddles, prevents them from moving even during aggressive playing. While it may not be on par with a USA-made model, the sound and playability at this price point are impressive, as expected from Sterling by Music Man. Includes a genuine gig bag. Will be wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped to fit within the 170 size limit.
