Sterling StingRay Classic 5-String Bass Guitar - Olympic White

The Sterling by Music Man StingRay Classic 5-String Bass brings the unmistakable look and feel of the original Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay into a versatile modern instrument. Featuring a vintage-inspired flat slab Nyatoh body, hard maple neck and fingerboard, ceramic humbucker, and 9V-powered 2-band active preamp, this five-string bass delivers powerful tone with flexible control. The Olympic White finish and tortoise shell pickguard complete its classic appearance, while the 34" scale and comfortable 12" radius provide a familiar playing experience.

Classic StingRay-Inspired Design

The StingRay Classic captures the visual character of the iconic StingRay bass with its slab-style body, traditional control layout, and bold single-humbucker configuration. The Nyatoh body provides a solid tonal foundation, while the Olympic White finish and tortoise shell pickguard give this five-string bass a timeless appearance suited to virtually any stage setup.

Powerful Ceramic Humbucker and Active Electronics

A ceramic humbucker provides the focused, powerful sound associated with StingRay-style basses. The onboard 2-band active preamp is powered by a 9V battery and gives players direct control over their bass and treble response. This combination provides plenty of tonal flexibility for shaping a punchy, articulate sound that works across rock, funk, pop, R&B, country, and more.

Comfortable 5-String Playability

The 34" scale hard maple neck and matching hard maple fingerboard provide a familiar feel with strong note definition across all five strings. A 12" fingerboard radius and 21 medium frets offer comfortable playability, while open-gear tuners and a Sterling by Music Man-designed bridge provide reliable tuning and solid performance.
