Sterling SBMM Stingray 4 Short Scale, Black Overview
The Sterling SBMM Stingray 4 Short Scale is the iconic bass shrunk down in size. It's now easier than ever to play and hold thanks to the reduced scale length. Riffs are fast and basslines are fluid on this superbly finished, shorter scale maple neck. Players with smaller hands, or those that struggle with full size basses, will certainly appreciate the more nimble stance of the StingRay short scale.
It's certainly easy to play, but how does it sound? Booming, rich and earth-rumblingly good. That's all down to the impressive MusicMan designed neodymium humbucker - this ingenious pickup can switch between parallel, true single coil and series modes for an incredible array of tones. And those tones ooze plenty of sustain thanks to the neodymium magnets that are high in output. Get your new sound with the StingRay 4 short scale.
