STERLING STINGRAY RAY4 4-STRING BASS GUITAR — TRANS BLACK SATIN: The ST-RAY4-TBKS-J1 delivers the iconic StingRay bass experience with a basswood body, hard maple neck, jatoba fingerboard, and a refined Trans Black Satin finish with black pickguard — a sleek, stage-ready instrument built for serious players.
LOW-NOISE CERAMIC HUMBUCKER FOR PUNCHY, ARTICULATE BASS PERFORMANCE: A single precision-voiced ceramic humbucker in H configuration captures deep, focused bass frequencies with minimal noise — delivering the powerful, punchy tone that defines the StingRay legacy across rock, funk, and contemporary bass styles.
9V 2-BAND ACTIVE PREAMP FOR EXPRESSIVE ON-BOARD TONE SHAPING: The onboard 9V active preamp with dedicated 2-band EQ provides independent bass and treble boost and cut — empowering players to sculpt their sound actively for cutting live performance presence or smooth, controlled studio recording tones.
FULLY ADJUSTABLE HEAVY-DUTY FIXED BRIDGE FOR MAXIMUM SUSTAIN & INTONATION: The heavy-duty fully adjustable fixed bridge ensures precise string intonation, enhanced sustain, and reliable long-term stability — delivering consistent, solid low-end response whether playing fingerstyle, slap, or with a pick across all string gauges.
JATOBA FINGERBOARD WITH 21 MEDIUM FRETS & 6-BOLT MAPLE NECK FOR ENHANCED BRIGHTNESS: The jatoba fingerboard adds natural brightness and snap to the tonal character, while 21 medium frets on a 9.5" radius provide a comfortable playing surface — and the 6-bolt neck attachment maximises structural rigidity and resonance transfer.
