STERLING STINGRAY RAY5 5-STRING BASS GUITAR — WALNUT SATIN: The ST-RAY5-WS-J1 brings the legendary StingRay character to 5-string players — featuring a basswood flat-slab body, hard maple neck, jatoba fingerboard, and a smooth Walnut Satin finish with iconic banana-style control plate for classic StingRay aesthetics.
LOW-NOISE CERAMIC HUMBUCKER FOR RESPONSIVE, HUM-FREE BASS TONE: A single precision-voiced ceramic humbucker in H configuration captures deep, focused bass frequencies across all five strings with zero hum — delivering an extremely responsive, articulate tone perfectly suited for slap, fingerstyle, and walking bass lines.
MASTER VOLUME & 9V 2-BAND ACTIVE PREAMP FOR COMPLETE TONAL CONTROL: The onboard master volume paired with a 9V 2-band active preamp provides dedicated bass and treble shaping — allowing players to dial in their perfect tone from punchy slap sounds to deep thumping low-end for any live or studio situation.
FULLY ADJUSTABLE HEAVY-DUTY FIXED BRIDGE FOR SOLID 5-STRING SUSTAIN: The heavy-duty fully adjustable fixed bridge delivers precise intonation and enhanced sustain across all five strings — ensuring consistent, powerful low-end response whether playing fingerstyle, slap technique, or with a pick through any playing session.
21 MEDIUM FRETS ON 9.5" JATOBA FINGERBOARD WITH COMFORTABLE FLAT-SLAB BODY PROFILE: The 9.5" fingerboard radius and 21 medium frets provide a smooth, even playing surface across the full 5-string range — while the flat-slab body profile and classic open gear tuners ensure a simple, comfortable hold for any playing style.

About This Product
The Sterling ST-RAY5-WS-J1 is a 5-string bass guitar from the iconic StingRay RAY5 series by Sterling by Music Man, finished in a smooth Walnut Satin. Inspired by the legendary Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Classic, it brings the beloved design and sonic character of one of the most iconic bass guitars of all time to an accessible price point. The basswood flat-slab body keeps the instrument lightweight and comfortable, while the hard maple neck with single-action truss rod ensures reliable long-term stability. The jatoba fingerboard delivers natural brightness and snap across 21 medium frets on a 9.5" radius. A single low-noise ceramic humbucker reproduces the signature StingRay punch across all five strings, shaped by an onboard 9V 2-band active preamp with master volume control. The iconic banana-style control plate, heavy-duty fixed bridge, and classic open gear tuners complete the authentic StingRay experience.
