Lightweight swamp ash bodies bring out the nuances and clarity Music Man® basses are known for.

The Ray35 body is contoured for playing comfort. The maple neck is attached via a solid 6 bolt neck joint. We use a swamp ash for the body that is light weight for percussive lows, subtle mids and expansive highs.

Music Man designed components; 3 band active preamp, humbucking pickup and bridge are standard equipment for all Ray series basses.

The Low B string remains tight and solid along the 34” scale.

The tone is all Music Man®

Sterling by Music Man gig bag is included.

Ray35 Bass Reviews:

“The Sterling by Music Man basses nailed the classic StingRay sound:

Lightly scooped mids, ballsy lows, and a lightly compressed response that can be inflamed or tamed with the onboard EQ.

The pickup switching scheme added an additional level of versatility.”
