Music Man have been one of the most sought-after and recognizable names in the industry for well over 40 years. Continuing their tradition of fine craftsmanship with rock n roll attitude is their new Sterling brand of instruments. The focus of this new venture is giving players classic shapes and sounds at an affordable price point.
Â
The Ray 35 Classic Active Bass is a modern take on a timeless design. By changing minor details of their Ray 35 standard model, Sterling has given the CA it’s own air of heritage and history. Having the body be cut as a full slab instead of being contoured on the back and top definitely lends the CA to the feel of older Stingray basses. Add to that the simplified 2-band eq, glossy finish neck, and traditional finishes and the sum result is a instrument that has the vibe of classic basses while maintaining stability and quality from modern accoutrements. The tone of this bass is everything you’d expect of a Stingray: throaty, clean, and punchy. Definitely a bang-for-your-buck bass.
