If you’re on the hunt for your new favorite bass, we wholeheartedly encourage you to explore the StingRay Classic RAY24CA. You won’t be disappointed!

Ceramic humbucker and onboard EQ

This solidbody bass is equipped with a single ceramic humbucker in the bridge position. The StingRay Classic RAY24CA’s H-I ceramic humbucker delivers a thumping tone with high output and enhanced treble response. That tone is then relayed to the high-headroom 9-volt preamp. From there, the integrated 2-band EQ offers streamlined tone-shaping to help you get the best sound possible. Together, the ceramic humbucker and active electronics pump out a warm and authoritative sound that’s straight out of the ’70s.

Superb tonewoods supply a solid tone

Take one look at the StingRay Classic RAY24CA, and its heritage is undeniable. The bass has an old-school flat “slab” body carved from mahogany. Mahogany — known for its midrange warmth — supplies a well-balanced foundation for your tone. The body is bolted to a hard maple neck for boosted resonance and sustain. Wrap your fingers around the neck, and you’ll immediately appreciate how the skinnier nut width sits comfortably in your hand.
