- Iconic StingRay tone The RAY35 delivers the unmistakable sound that has made the StingRay a go-to bass for decades. With its single alnico humbucker and powerful 3-band active preamp it produces a punchy versatile tone that cuts through any mix. From deep low-end thump to tight midrange growl and crisp highs the RAY35 adapts easily to funk rock metal or pop. The 5-way pickup selector adds even more tonal variety unlocking a range of different options. Roasted maple neck Built with a roasted maple neck the RAY35 offers smooth playability and excellent stability. The rosewood fingerboard on this Vintage Sunburst model adds warmth and clarity to your tone while the 12" radius and 22 medium frets make it easy to play fast runs smooth slides or big chords with confidence and comfort. 5-string power The extended range of a 5-string bass gives you the extra low-end punch needed for modern playing styles. The RAY35s 34" scale length ensures tight string response keeping the low B articulate and controlled. This makes it perfect for genres that demand depth and authority from progressive metal to modern R&B. Whether youre locking in with the drummer or exploring melodic bass lines the added string expands your creative possibilities. Performance-ready build Every detail of the RAY35 is designed with performance in mind.
