The Sterling by Music Man StingRay 5 RAY35 HH spalted maple top 5-string electric bass pairs a nyatoh body with spalted maple veneer, a 34" scale roasted maple neck, rosewood fingerboard and two alnico humbuckers with five-way switching and a 3-band active preamp.

Contoured Nyatoh Body With Spalted Maple Veneer

A contoured nyatoh body topped with spalted maple veneer gives this five-string StingRay its distinctive Blood Orange Burst appearance. Smoothly rounded contours help the instrument sit comfortably whether played standing or seated. The 34" scale provides a familiar long-scale playing experience, while the additional low string extends the instrument's range.

Dual Alnico Humbuckers and Active EQ Expand Tonal Range

Two Sterling by Music Man-designed alnico humbuckers sit at the bridge and neck, expanding the pickup choices beyond a single-humbucker StingRay. A five-way selector changes the available pickup combinations, while the active 3-band preamp shapes bass, middle and treble response. This arrangement makes it practical to move between different pickup combinations and EQ settings without changing instruments.

Roasted Maple Neck Meets a Rosewood Fingerboard

The roasted maple neck uses a six-bolt attachment and a dual-action truss rod for setup adjustments. A rosewood fingerboard features a 12" radius, 22 medium frets and white dot position markers. The nut measures 45 mm wide, accommodating the five-string configuration.

StingRay Hardware Supports Everyday Setup and Playing

A Sterling by Music Man-designed bridge anchors the 5-string setup, paired with open-gear tuning machines at the headstock. The instrument ships with Ernie Ball 2836 Regular Slinky strings, and its transparent pickguard leaves the figured top visible. The hardware and familiar controls keep routine tuning, string changes and onstage adjustments straightforward.
