This Sterling by Music Man Ray4 SUB has been upgraded with a new Aguilar 4M pickup and Aguilar OBP-3SK/PP preamp. This bass packs a huge sonic punch that rivals any Sterling or Ernie Ball Sting Ray at a fraction of the price! The costs of the upgrades are worth over $300 making this a great value ($150 pickup & $180 preamp)

The Aguilar pickup provides the sound of an Alnico V magnet verses a stock ceramic magnet. The preamp is very powerful and expands the preamp from a 2 band eq (bass & treble) to a 3 band eq by adding a mid control while also adding a push/pull for 2 different output frequencies (400hz & 800hz). There are several YouTube videos that demonstrate the sound of these upgrades. I encourage you to listen to them for yourself.

The bass is in excellent condition and has been well taken care of with no major blemishes or scratches. The bass is very comfortable to play with a neck profile that resembles a jazz style neck. The transparent matte finish adds a nice visual appeal to a great sounding and playing bass. To make the deal even sweeter I’ll throw in the original pickup and preamp.
