The Music Man Dark Ray is engineered with a custom Darkglass® 2-band active preamp, specifically designed to deliver a crisp, clean sound that stands out for its clarity and low noise. The preamp allows precise adjustments with its dedicated controls for volume, gain, bass, treble, and blend, enabling musicians to achieve the perfect tone for any genre. Whether playing softly in a jazz trio or rocking out on a big stage, the Dark Ray provides a reliable and clear sonic foundation.
Uniquely featuring Darkglass’s acclaimed Alpha and Omega distortion circuits, the Dark Ray offers expansive tonal possibilities. These circuits can be blended and adjusted independently, allowing bassists to switch seamlessly between tight, punchy distortion and a warmer, fuzzier sound. This dual circuit setup ensures that players can craft their unique sound without sacrificing the rich, full-bodied low-end that Music Man basses are known for.
Reflecting Music Man's commitment to quality, the Dark Ray boasts a roasted maple neck and an ebony fingerboard, enhancing both the durability and playability of the bass. The roasting process for the maple neck not only gives it a striking appearance but also increases its stability and resistance to environmental changes. Paired with high-profile, wide stainless steel frets, the Dark Ray is designed to perform consistently under any playing conditions.
