Sterling StingRay HH Bass RW, Stealth Black

Full Description

Humbucker heaven

Roaring with power. The two Sterling-designed alnico humbuckers loaded into this dark beauty of a bass give it a pummelling sound. The pickup in the bridge position offers a high output, booming tone which rings out with conviction. When you pluck those strings, it will give them a punchy, tight voice which is both crisp and defined.

The neck position humbucker has a warmer, mellower sound, which is perfect for giving basslines some character and fatness. It makes each note ring with melody, filling the air with beefy low end. The quality doesn't stop there. There's also an active three-band EQ control section, so you can add your own touch to your tone. Whether you want more treble for that extra punch, or some saucy low end for an earth shaking rumble, you'll have total control over your sound.

Ultimate precision

Play to perfection. If you want total control over the fretboard, this bass will happily oblige. It's got a smooth, roasted hard maple neck which allows you to play with complete accuracy. Your hand will have no trouble gliding over its smooth surface as you fly between notes in unparalleled style. As such, you'll feel natural expressing yourself on this instrument, with each note all the way up the cutaway body feeling well in reach. It is also slim, meaning you can blitz through basslines at lightning speed. Play without limits.

Riveting rosewood

There's also a pristine rosewood fretboard for a slick fretting experience. Its smooth surface makes for effortless finger movements, so you'll find your basslines flow smoothly into one another. It also adds a touch of warmth to your tone, bringing out some more fatness in each note. With this sonic tool in your arsenal, you'll find writing bold basslines feels both natural and rewarding.

Your bass fortress

It's got all the goods. There's a solid Sterling Designed Bridge helping to lock down the strings, so you can always play in tune. It is supported by open gear tuning machines, which also help to keep your tuning well and truly in check. The Black pickguard keeps the bass free from scratches, whilst also adding to its pristine aesthetic. Coming in a beautiful flat finish and boasting mountains of power, this instrument will take your playing to lofty heights.
