STERLING BY MUSIC MAN StingRay Ray4 H RRBS

The models produced under the Sterling by Music Man brand are faithful copies of the "adult" instruments that Music Man produces in the USA, but are available at a significantly more affordable price. Their components are precision-manufactured in Korea, carefully assembled in Indonesia, but final set-up and final inspection is done at Music Man's headquarters in California, USA. As a result, these instruments offer incredibly high quality for their price, surpassing much of their competition. If you like Music Man guitars or basses, but don't want to invest huge sums of money, or if you're simply looking for a quality instrument, this is certainly an interesting route to take.

The RAY4 is a model that is a copy of the legendary Music Man StingRay Bass. The StingRay was the first instrument to be created in the company's workshops in 1975.

The body of this bass is made of solid linden. The neck, which is bolted to the body with six screws, is made of maple wood. Its gauge is measured at the classic 864 mm, the width of the zero fret is 38 mm. The instrument is fitted with 21 frets.

On the instrument you will find one humbucker type pickup with a ceramic magnet. The instrument has a two-band active preamp, where you can of course adjust the overall volume in addition to the bass and treble.

On the other side, the strings are anchored in a chrome-plated vintage Music Man Designed hardened steel headstock. Of course, the guitar has an adjustable neck brace that can be worked with without removing the strings or other hardware.

The Sterling by Music Man RAY4 is undoubtedly a quality instrument that combines the strengths of Music Man models with a price point affordable to the "average mortal". Whoever gets his hands on it will surely understand.
