Full Description
View Full DescriptionHumbucking punch
Deliver bass lines with a slap. This alnico humbucker is your key ingredient for some sizzling sounds. As it's an open coil humbucker, you've got an abundance of sustain and output on tap. But the alnico construction and careful tuning of MusicMan's engineers results in a clear, balanced voice that can dip into any genre of your choosing.
Crisp highs roll through to a defined and powerful midrange. As for the low end, it's chunky, fat, and delicious. Everything you'd want out of a thumping bass timbre. Pick your style and get playing, these pickups won't disappoint.
Activate your EQ
Shape your sound. It's all about precise, professional control with the Ray34FM. Boasting a three-band active preamp, you'll get the finesse you need to succeed on these electronics. In addition to your extended control, gigging musicians will love how this boosted signal doesn't get diminished over long chains. No matter your set up, these electronics will preserve your sound.
Mystic roasted maple
Release the riffs. This is the kind of fretboard that players love. And that's because maple is just so naturally bright and snappy. It'll feel almost effortless to jam on, as you'll simply glide from fret to fret thanks to the slick surface SBMM have created. With 21 frets to navigate, there's plenty of room for expression and creativity here, even better, the medium fret size results in an easy string action. Play your way.
As for the neck…
It is magic. Or it'll feel like it. That's due to just how comfortable and frictionless the neck is, meaning you'll have hours of cramp-free playing. Shaped into a 9.5" radius it'll slot right into your grip, giving a solid platform for riffing on the fretboard. It's heavenly to hold.
Not only that, but it's going to endure countless gigs on the road, too. Roasted maple is excellent at resisting climate damage, so you're unlikely to fall victim to the warping and bowing that can be a peril for travelling instruments.
