You’ll hold this bass like a grudge

The construction of the Sterling Pete Wentz Signature StingRay was designed to bring the best qualities of the bass to the forefront. For instance, a slab of nyatoh was cut into the gloriously comfortable curves of the StingRay body shape to offer you an instrument you feel inspired and encouraged to play. Pete chose a classic combination of roasted maple neck and fingerboard for a sleek appearance and comfortable playability. It features a 9.5-inch fingerboard radius that will feel right at home for most players. Other factors like a bolt-on neck, fixed bridge, and open-gear tuners tie this bass together with intonation that lifts up the tone. Lastly, a loon inlay on the 12th fret finishes this bass with looks that kill.
