The Sterling by Music Man Intro Series StingRay RAY2 is a budget 4-string electric bass built to the StingRay formula: a contoured basswood body, a hard maple neck and fretboard, and a single passive ceramic humbucker at the bridge. Its standout spec is the narrow 1.5-inch nut, which makes the neck feel fast and easy for smaller hands and newer players. It is a straightforward passive instrument with just volume and tone, so it lacks the active preamp and extra tonal shaping of the full StingRay and higher Sterling models. Owners of entry-level basses tend to like it as a first serious instrument or a cheap second bass for the StingRay look and sound.

Owners of entry-level basses generally treat the RAY2 as a solid first instrument, praising the comfortable narrow neck and the classic StingRay humbucker tone. Criticisms center on the basic passive electronics and the hardware, which some find a step below pricier basses.
The Sterling by Music Man Intro Series StingRay RAY2 is an electric bass guitar with a passive ceramic humbucking pickup at the bridge. The pickup gives a classic bass sound with rich lows, crisp highs and punchy mids. Volume and tone controls let the player shape the sound.
The body is contoured basswood and fits close to the player's body. The thin hard maple neck has a satin finish, a narrow 1.5" nut and medium frets. A white pickguard completes the look.
