Sterling StingRay Ray34 H: four-string bass with Purple Sparkle finish

The Sterling by Music Man StingRay Ray34 H Purple Sparkle combines a single humbucker with active tone control and a striking purple finish. This four-string electric bass features a nyatoh body and a rosewood fretboard. The glossy Purple Sparkle finish and black hardware give the recognizable StingRay design a distinct look. For the bassist looking for a straightforward pickup configuration but still wanting to be able to shape their sound, this model offers an attractive combination of simplicity and flexibility.

The humbucker at the bridge forms the foundation of the sound. With the active three-band EQ, you can adjust the bass, mids, and treble separately, allowing your bass lines to better blend with the music and other instruments. Give a groove extra weight, bring the mid-range forward for more definition, or add treble for a clearer attack. Because you are working with a single pickup, it is primarily about the combination of your playing technique and tone control. This invites you to also explore different tonal colors by varying your picking position.

The rosewood fretboard has 21 medium jumbo frets and a 240 mm radius. The scale length of 864 mm, or 34 inches, gives this bass the familiar full-size dimensions. A nut width of 43 mm provides space for controlled playing on the four strings. The Sterling bridge and open-gear tuners complete the hardware setup. This right-handed model comes equipped with Ernie Ball 2834 Super Slinky strings and features an H pickup configuration with active electronics.

This Purple Sparkle version is an interesting choice if you are looking for a bass with character that is just as visually present as it is musically. During rehearsals or performances, you can make targeted adjustments with the EQ, while the single humbucker keeps the operation straightforward. Take the time to hear how the bass responds to your own fingers or plectrum. Stop by our store or call us for more information about the Sterling by Music Man StingRay Ray34 H Purple Sparkle.
