Why should I get a short-scale bass?

Whether you’re a guitar player looking for a first bass or an experienced player looking for a new bass to add to the collection, a short-scale bass, like the StingRay RAYSS4, may just fit the bill. Short-scale basses are smaller than their long-scale brethren, leading to greater comfort. Plus, since the scale length is shorter (30 inches in this case), there’s less distance between frets — a great option for players with small hands. A shorter scale length also means there’s less tension on the strings, making the strings much easier to fret. Of course, since the StingRay RAYSS4 is a short-scale bass, you’ll be treated to a slightly darker tone with a focused low-end thump every time you plug in.

A wealth of tonal options

The StingRay RAYSS4 comes equipped with an ultra-versatile electronics package that offers tons of tones to explore. This bass is loaded with a single neodymium humbucker in the bridge. Its neodymium magnet provides huge tones with enough output to punch through any mix. Pair the pickup’s power with a 3-way rotary switch, and you’ll unlock both coils in parallel, true single, and series modes. And with its push-push volume boost, the StingRay RAYSS4 delivers the right tone for any situation.
