Since it’s introduction in 1976, the Music Man Stingray bass has been embraced as one of the world’s classic electric bass designs. The Sterling By Music Man Ray34 pays tribute to that iconic, original Music Man Stingray bass design in look, feel and sound. The no nonsense design, the tones from the 3-band preamp and pickup, the ash body, the familiar oval pickguard has supported the most important music of the last 40 years. The new Ray34QM bass features a tuneful, select African body and headstock overlay of gorgeous, highly figured, quilted Maple. Manufactured in Korea by Master Craftsmen, the Ray34QM is truly a benchmark instrument for the Sterling By Music Man line.
