Sterling Ray34, black, made in Indonesia 2023. The Stingray is a classic genre of bass, launching in 1976 as Leo Fender's first offering since leaving the company that bore his name. These Sterling models deliver the recipe for a more accessible dollar: high mass bridge, big fat humbucker, active EQ, comfy neck. This is a recent example with the ever-popular roasted neck, and it feels great. It's strung up with super light strings for extra slappability, which is a lot of fun. The tone is immediate, with an abundance of presence in the highs, growl aplenty in the mids and a fast, snappy bass. This one presents as near-new, so you can save a few bucks and score a decent case at the same time. Handy dandy.
