Iconic bass design powered by flexible active electronics.
The Sterling by Music Man S.U.B. StingRay bass guitar brings you the iconic body lines and styling of the classic Music Man StingRay bass. With its familiar teardrop pickguard and sleek profile, the S.U.B. StingRay instantly stands out on stage. Under the hood, a powerful humbucking pickup and active 9V preamp equip the S.U.B. StingRay with articulate, thunderous tone. Dial in the perfect sound with dedicated volume, bass boost/cut and treble boost/cut controls. Intonate each string precisely with the fully adjustable heavy-duty bridge. The S.U.B. StingRay's high-quality components and road-ready construction provide reliable performance gig after gig.
Classic Teardrop Pickguard Evokes Iconic StingRay Style
The S.U.B. StingRay bass features the iconic teardrop pickguard that has defined StingRay basses since the 1970s. Combined with the sleek double-cutaway body, the unmistakable pickguard makes a bold stylistic statement on stage. The S.U.B. StingRay comes in a variety of eye-catching finishes, allowing you to choose the look that best fits your musical identity.
Capture Deep Lows With the Humbucking Pickup
The S.U.B. StingRay is equipped with a single powerful humbucking pickup that accurately reproduces the entire frequency range of the bass. Compared to single-coil pickups, the humbucking design dramatically reduces unwanted noise and hum, letting your bass tones shine through the mix. The pickup excellently captures deep low end as well as punchy mids and smooth highs. It provides the ideal sonic foundation for the onboard active preamp.
Shape Your Sound With the Active Preamp
The 9V active preamp lets you dial in your ideal tone with dedicated bass, midrange and treble controls. Boost low-end thump and attack, add bite and cut to the mids and adjust high-end clarity to suit your needs. The Volume control sets your overall output level. Whether you want a smooth, warm vintage tone or an aggressive modern slap sound, the preamp equips you with the tonal control you need.
Precisely Adjust Intonation With the Bridge
The S.U.B. StingRay features a sturdy, fully adjustable bridge with heavy-duty saddles. The bridge enables precise adjustment of each string's intonation so every note rings true up and down the neck. The individual saddles also let you customize string height and action to match your playing style. Combined with quality tuning machines, the solid bridge stabilizes tuning stability for reliable performance.
