Sterling by Music Man StingRay Ray4HH Maple Fingerboard Electric Bass Olive
A muscular bass with exceptional tonal flexibility.
The Sterling by Music Man S.U.B. StingRay HH bass injects bold humbucker power into their popular S.U.B. Series. With its dual humbucking pickups and 5-way selector switch, the Ray4HH opens up a wide spectrum of tones perfect for the stage or studio. The Ray4HH's 9V active preamp provides a boost while shaping your sound, with adjustable EQ for dialing in your ideal low-end punch or snarl. An adjustable heavy-duty bridge lets you customize string action and intonation to your playing style. The Ray4HH bass has an ergonomic, contoured body designed for playing comfort during long sessions. For the fingerboard, you can choose between maple or jatoba wood options. Pick up the Sterling Ray4HH and explore the tonal versatility of its muscular dual-humbucker design.
Dual Humbuckers Offer Bold Tone With Two Voicings
The Ray4HH gets its brawny tone from two Sterling-designed humbucking pickups that deliver exceptional note articulation and full low-end punch. With the 5-way pickup selector, you can access the focused attack of the bridge humbucker alone, the warmth and resonance of the neck pickup soloed or blend both pickups. The two inner switch positions engage clever coil splits for single-coil-like snap and twang. Having two distinct humbucking voices expands your tonal range from rock and metal crunch to the vintage growl of a P-bass.
Active 9V Preamp Provides Flexible Tone Shaping
The Ray4HH's 9V active preamp lets you boost and refine your fundamental tone as needed. Turn the Volume knob to cut through a mix or push the front end of your amp harder. The stacked Bass and Treble controls allow for powerful yet nuanced EQ adjustment. Scoop the mids and increase the lows for a subterranean rumble or add crisp highs to pick notes. The preamp's circuitry preserves the integrity of the Ray4HH's humbuckers, retaining their focused attack and full low-end. Shape your sound for the ideal response on stage or in the studio.
Fully Adjustable Bridge Provides Customized Feel
The Ray4HH features a heavy-duty bridge with fully adjustable saddles for tailored string action and intonation. Raise or lower each string's height to your preferred playing feel, whether fast and slick or a bit higher for more tonal bloom. You can also adjust each saddle for perfect intonation all the way up the neck. The solid bridge assembly enhances sustain and resonance through the body. Personalize both the feel and tone of the Ray4HH bass to best suit your playing needs.
