The bass plays as intended, and our tech will give it a full setup before it ships to you. If you've been eyeing a StingRay-style 5-string with a standout look but couldn't quite pull the trigger on the full retail price, this is worth a serious look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Sterling by Music Man StingRay5 RAY35 in the Spalted Maple 3-Tone Sunburst finish — introduced at NAMM 2024 and one of the more visually interesting basses in the RAY35 lineup. That spalted maple veneer top under a transparent pickguard gives every instrument a one-of-a-kind grain pattern. The nyatoh body underneath keeps things resonant and comfortable, with Sterling's familiar modern contour, curved armrest, and belly cut built right in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sterling by Music Man StingRay5 RAY35 is in Fair condition. The guitar is fully functional and will go through a full tech set up prior to shipping. It has a Took a hit at the bottom and there is gap at heel, guitar plays as intended and comes with full set up.. Please review the photos carefully for full condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRoasted Maple Neck — Smooth, Stable, Ready to Play\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe roasted maple neck is one of the RAY35's most practical features. Heat-treating the maple stabilizes the wood against humidity and temperature swings, meaning the neck resists warping better than an untreated maple neck. It also gives the playing surface that broken-in feel from the start — no years of playing required to get it there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rosewood fingerboard runs 22 medium frets across a 12\" radius, with a nut width of 1.77\" — slim enough for comfortable fretting without feeling cramped for slap or pop technique. The 6-bolt neck joint adds extra rigidity and sustain transfer between neck and body. Dual-action truss rod and open-gear tuners round out a neck that's built to stay in spec gig after gig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClassic StingRay Electronics — One Pickup, Three Bands, Plenty of Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RAY35 runs a single Music Man-designed alnico humbucker paired with a 3-band active preamp. That's the same basic recipe that made the original Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay a studio and stage staple for decades — punchy low-mids, a tight low end on the B string, and enough high-frequency articulation for fingerstyle and slap work alike. The 3-way toggle pickup selector gives you additional coil-splitting options to pull back the output or shift the character of the humbucker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sterling by Music Man-designed bridge mirrors the iconic Music Man bridge geometry, keeping intonation stable and sustain consistent across all five strings. Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 5-string strings come loaded from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Nyatoh with Spalted Maple Veneer Top — unique grain pattern on every instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Roasted Maple — heat-treated for enhanced stability and smooth feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood, 12\" radius, 22 medium frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 34\" (86.4 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.77\" (45mm) at nut, 2.72\" (69mm) at last fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup: 1 Alnico Humbucker (Music Man-designed) with 3-way toggle selector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: 3-band Active Preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Sterling by Music Man-Designed Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Open-Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Attachment: 6-Bolt Pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: 3-Tone Sunburst with Transparent Pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold without a case — no case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling by Music Man\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e StingRay5 RAY35 Spalted Maple\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e U-ST-RAY35SM-3TS-R2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
