The DarkRay Bass guitar that changes your sonic landscape with the flip of a switch! Created in conjunction with renowned bass accessory manufacturer Darkglass Electronics, this modern StingRay model encourages musical exploration like never before.
The DarkRay’s secret weapon? A sleek but powerful preamp developed by Darkglass Electronics that allows you to give each note more punch and presence. Its design provides you a full 3-band EQ, including gain and selectable mid frequency options for all sorts of tonal combinations. For bassists who also play rhythm guitar parts, there’s a “treble roll off” feature to help make sure those chords don’t overshadow your low-end work.
But that’s not all – you also get the classic features that made StingRay models great in the first place: an ergonomic body design perfect for standing or seated playing; And then there's its versatile tones from its passive pickup, plus plenty of growl, punch and clarity when you activate the active circuit.
With its state-of-the-art electronics plus classic looks and feel, this instrument delivers powerful performance on every groove and riff. So whether it's time to take center stage or jam with friends at home - pick up a Darkray and see what's in store!
Sterling’s custom Darkglass 2-band active preamp offers three distinct distortion circuits: Clean (Preamp-only), Alpha (Distortion), and Omega (Fuzz), all without the hassle of plugging into a pedalboard. Enjoy total tonal control via volume, treble, and bass adjustments, along with onboard gain and blend knobs for customized distortion. The eye-catching LED ring and 3-way selector indicate which circuit the bass is in. And to round out the innovative DarkRay design, they’ve added a roasted maple neck and ebony fingerboard, paired with the iconic StingRay contoured body shape.
