Important Information
The Sterling by Music Man StingRay Short Scale 4‐String Bass redefines what compact power means in the bass guitar world. This black beauty features a comfortable 30" scale length that makes it perfect for musicians seeking effortless playability without sacrificing the robust, punchy StingRay tone that has made this brand legendary. The nyatoh body provides resonant, balanced acoustics while the maple neck and fingerboard ensure smooth performance and long‐lasting durability.
At the heart of this instrument lies a high‐output neodymium humbucking pickup that produces rich, full‐bodied tone with exceptional clarity. The passive boost system ensures dynamic low‐end response across any musical style, while the versatile pickup configuration allows you to switch between parallel, true single‐coil, and series modes. This tonal flexibility opens up possibilities spanning funk and rock through to jazz and R&B, making it an incredibly adaptable instrument.
