A 3-way switch lets you select both coils in series, in series with filter, and both coils parallel. The MusicMan-designed 6-bolt neck joint for all the Sterling RAY34 and 35 basses that are strong and stable with no shift in the neck pocket for superior tone transfer. The MusicMan-designed bridge uses a thick saddle for precise adjustments and stability. Precise slotting on each saddle guarantees no sideways movement on the bass strings during heavy playing.Basses from Sterling by MusicMan are perfect for players seeking the MusicMan vibe at a more affordable price.

Music Man sound and feel at half the price! December 7, 2009
dflow1985 (Chicago, IL USA)
I first heard about the new Sterling by Music Man basses on YouTube. I liked what I heard, so I went to my local music store and played the Ray34. I was very impressed. It sounded just like a USA Stingray, but was about half the price. I also tried the SB14, which sounded very good as well. I wanted to try the Ray35 but they didn't have it in stock. So I did some more research, and most people had good things to say about the Ray35. I decided to order it from Amazon. After about a week, it finally arrived. My Ray35 has a natural finish, and it looks great. The action was too low when I first took it out of the box, but I was able to fix that with the allen wrench that was supplied with the bass. The bass sounds and feels wonderful, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for the sound and feel of a US-made Music Man bass at an affordable price.
