Sterling by Music Man StingRay Intro Series Bass Guitar

The Sterling by Music Man Stingray Intro Series Bass Guitar is designed to welcome players new to the Sterling by Music Man family, pairing a familiar, versatile passive humbucker tone with a comfortable, easy playing feel. It suits bassists moving up from a first instrument as well as anyone looking for a dependable, great value StingRay style bass.

Familiar, versatile tone
A single ceramic humbucker in the bridge position delivers the punchy, versatile tone the StingRay shape is known for, controlled through a straightforward single volume and single tone setup. This makes it easy to dial in your sound quickly, without needing to navigate multiple pickups or switches.

Comfortable design for players moving up
A narrow 40mm nut width and contoured poplar body make the Intro Series StingRay easier to handle than many full-size basses, while a hard maple neck with a satin finish keeps the playing feel smooth and fast. A 9.5 inch fingerboard radius and medium frets help with comfortable fretting hand position across the neck.

Reliable, easy to maintain hardware
A fixed bridge and open gear tuning machines keep the bass simple to maintain and reliable in tuning, while a dual action truss rod and 6-bolt neck attachment provide a stable foundation for long-term playability and adjustment.

Ready to plug in and play
As a passive electric bass, the Intro Series StingRay needs to be connected to a bass amplifier to be heard properly, and its humbucker and simple control layout are built to give you a solid, usable tone once you do.
