The Sterling by Music Man StingRay Short Scale takes everything you love about the iconic StingRay — the punchy, authoritative sound, the bold looks, the quality build — and wraps it in a lightweight, 30\" short-scale format that's a genuine joy to play. Whether you're a player with smaller hands, someone looking for a more comfortable gigging bass, or simply after something different without compromising on tone, this StingRay delivers in spades. The Charging Green finish with white pearloid pickguard makes it one of the sharpest-looking basses in its class or Purple Sparkle with black hardware for full Glamour Bass!! Either way, these are great Short Scale instruments delivering all of the advantages of a 30\" scale but with all the tone of their big brothers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30\" short scale\u003c\/strong\u003e — compact and comfortable to play, with reduced string tension that makes fretting smooth and effortless for hours on end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoasted maple neck\u003c\/strong\u003e — upgraded for enhanced stability, improved feel, and a fast, responsive playing experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeodymium humbucking pickup\u003c\/strong\u003e — passive electronics with serious output, delivering the big, bold StingRay tone the design is famous for\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3-way rotary switching\u003c\/strong\u003e — select between parallel, true single-coil, and series modes for a wide range of tonal options from a single pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12dB push-push volume boost\u003c\/strong\u003e — on-demand punch and presence to cut through any mix without fuss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRosewood fingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e — smooth and comfortable with white dot markers, 22 medium frets, 9.5\" radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNyatoh body\u003c\/strong\u003e — lightweight tonewood that keeps the instrument comfortable for long sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eErnie Ball Regular Slinky Short Scale strings\u003c\/strong\u003e — fitted from the factory and optimised for the 30\" scale length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STERLING BY MUSICMAN","offers":[{"title":"CHARGING GREEN","offer_id":49590495215855,"sku":"RAYSS4-CHG-M2","price":1899.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PURPLE SPARKLE","offer_id":49590495248623,"sku":"RAYSS4-PSK-R2","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/4071\/files\/Ray4SS_chargingGreen.jpg?v=1779858336","url":"https:\/\/www.basscentre.com.au\/products\/stirling-by-musicman-ray-4-short-scale","provider":"Bass Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
