The Ray5 bass is the cousins of the Music Man StingRay 5 bass. Classic, iconic instruments that defined a generation of bassists since the late 70´s. Active electronics, low noise hum bucking pickups, rock solid hardware and a simple, uncluttered look that is instantly recognizable and respected. Your fretting hand is touching the neck 100% of the time you play your bass. We developed a super smooth satin finish for the back of the neck. This finish is non glossy, never get’s sticky and always feels fresh. The tinted satin finish looks great and gives the instrument a classic look and feel. All Sterling by Music Man instruments are inspected and set up in Orange, California. Finish: Honeyburst Satin Rosewood
