The Sterling by Music Man Intro Series StingRay RAY2 in Black isn't just an entry-level bass; it’s a high-gloss, low-end statement that refuses to compromise on its legendary pedigree. Cloaked in a timeless black finish with a crisp white teardrop pickguard, it brings the "tuxedo at a dive bar" energy that has defined the StingRay legacy for decades.
Don’t let the "Intro" label fool you into thinking it's delicate. It’s anchored by a resonant poplar body and a rock-solid, six-bolt hard maple neck designed to handle the heaviest of grooves without flinching. For players who don't have hands like an NBA center, the slim 38mm to 40mm nut width and satin-finished neck offer a fast, effortless glide across the 21 medium frets, making it just as easy to play as it is to look at. Sonically, this beast ditches the complicated active EQ for a punchy, high-output ceramic humbucker that is purely plug-and-play.
Whether you're chasing Flea’s aggressive slap tones or a smooth, fingerstyle growl, its single volume and tone controls put that classic, mid-scooped "nasal" StingRay bite right at your fingertips. It’s the ultimate bass for someone who wants stadium-sized charisma on a bedroom budget, delivering all the punch and power of its high-end California siblings without the eye-watering price tag.
