Sterling by Music Man has expanded its SUB Series lineup with the new StingRay Plus bass, available in both four- and five-string configurations. The instrument features a poplar body with an ash veneer offered in Vintage Sunburst or Seafoam Green colorways. While all models utilize a hard maple neck, the Seafoam Green versions include a jatoba fingerboard, whereas the Vintage Sunburst models feature a maple board. Additional hardware specifications include block inlays, open gear tuners, and a fixed bridge.
no treble reported that the primary market impact of this release lies in its upgraded electronics designed to complement the existing ceramic humbucker and 2-band EQ. According to the manufacturer, a push-push volume control provides immediate access to increased punch and output for soloing or cutting through a mix without altering the overall setup. Furthermore, a new 3-way switch grants players flexibility to toggle between series, parallel, and single-coil pickup wiring. These settings deliver distinct tonal voices ranging from the classic StingRay snap to a hotter, fuller sound or a leaner, more articulate tone. The four-string model is priced at $499, while the five-string version carries a price of $549. The StingRay Plus is currently available for purchase at retailers.
