    The StingRay RAYSS4 Short Scale bass is a sterling example of innovation meeting the classic sound that musicians have come to expect from the StingRay line. Its shorter scale length offers a more manageable playability for those with smaller hands or for players who prefer the more compact feel of a short-scale bass. This model retains the iconic StingRay tone, thanks to its humbucking pickup, giving bassists the power to shape their sound across a spectrum of genres. The RAYSS4 is also visually striking, with its sleek design and finish, making it as much a pleasure to look at as it is to play.


    Experience the Sterling Short Scale StingRay bass, now upgraded with a roasted maple neck for unparalleled feel and playability. Modified to a convenient 30” scale, this lightweight StingRay features passive electronics with a powerful neodymium humbucker, providing comfort without sacrificing performance. A push-push volume boost and 3-way rotary switch, offering parallel, true single coil, and series modes, provides a versatile array of tonal options. Get ready for the big and bold StingRay sound in our smoothest package yet.
