General

This Sterling by Music Man Ray34 is a more affordable version of the famous Music Man Stingray bass played by many professionals. This model has a body made of mahogany with a roasted maple neck. It has the recognisable, uniquely-shaped, cutaway body, machine heads in a 3/1 configuration, a powerful Alnico humbucker pickup and an active 3-band EQ.

Ray34: warm, punchy and versatile

The mahogany body produces a warm sound with plenty of sustain and has the unmistakable egg-shaped pickguard and the 'boomerang' control plate. Punchy bass is assured by the Music Man Designed Alnico humbucker at the bridge. Thanks to the treble, middle and bass controls, the Ray34 has a highly-versatile sound making it suitable for styles like rock and funk. It's also great for slap bassists.

Robust construction

The Sterling by Music Man Ray34 has 21 frets on a roasted maple neck that's attached to the body using 6 bolts. This robust construction guarantees optimal sound transference and sustain. The easy-access truss-rod nut on the end of the neck allows you to make adjustments very easily too.

Wrote the following about Sterling by Music Man Ray34 Black Roasted Maple Electric Bass

After 1 month and 1 day this long anticipated bass arrived with 2 dents/defects on the headstock wood and a paint imperfection on the body. Not best pleased for a nearly £900 bass guitar. Bax offered measly compensation in the form of a £20 voucher to spend with them. Requested return... Just waiting patiently for bax to send through return details.....
