Overview

An electric bass guitar with punchy active tone.

The Sterling by Music Man StingRay Ray34 electric bass guitar pairs classic StingRay punch with premium appointments and a standout finish. Featuring a roasted maple neck, active three-band EQ and contoured nyatoh body with a flame maple veneer, this bass is built for players who move between rehearsal, studio work and live performance. The slim neck profile encourages smooth movement across the fretboard, while the active electronics allow quick tonal adjustments to match different musical settings. Finished in a Guitar Center Exclusive Purple Sunset Flame Maple veneer, this Ray34 bass combines distinctive visual appeal with the focused low-end response and articulate attack that define the StingRay platform.

Guitar Center Exclusive Finish with Premium Tonewoods

This Ray34 stands out with its Guitar Center Exclusive Purple Sunset finish over a flame maple veneer, delivering a bold stage-ready appearance. Beneath the striking top, the nyatoh body provides warmth and balance, while the contoured shape enhances comfort for extended sessions. The combination of premium materials and ergonomic design keeps the instrument responsive and easy to manage whether seated in the studio or standing on stage.

Single Humbucker and Active Three-Band EQ for Flexible Tone Shaping

A three-band active preamp provides quick access to bass, mid and treble controls, allowing players to dial in punchy lows or brighter articulation as needed. The single humbucker pickup delivers the signature StingRay tone with strong attack and focused low end. Together, the pickup and active EQ provide a wide tonal range suited for multiple playing styles.

Roasted Maple Neck for Smooth, Stable Playability

The roasted maple neck pairs with a rosewood fretboard for a smooth and consistent playing experience. A 9.5" radius and medium frets support fluid movement and comfortable positioning across the neck. The roasted maple construction enhances stability while maintaining a responsive feel, helping players stay locked into groove-focused playing during long rehearsals or performances.

Classic StingRay Hardware for Reliable Performance

Open-gear tuners and a six-bolt neck joint support tuning stability and consistent performance. The StingRay-style bridge maintains intonation and sustain, while the hardware package is designed to handle regular transport and performance demands. These elements contribute to dependable performance across varied environments.

Built for Studio, Stage and Rehearsal Environments

From tight groove work to sustained lines, the Music Man StingRay Ray34 adapts easily to different musical settings. The exclusive finish adds visual presence under stage lighting, while the active electronics provide flexibility for evolving mixes. Combining distinctive looks with reliable StingRay performance, this Sterling by Music Man StingRay Ray34 electric bass guitar delivers consistent tone, comfort and control, complete with a handsome Purple Sunset finish available only at Guitar Center.
