stonevibe Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Sterling by MusicMan DarkRay with Darkglass distortion circuits. At last an affordable version of the EBMM DarkRay model. I like it and it looks pretty tasty all in black. https://guitarbomb.com/2023/10/24/sterling-by-music-man-darkray-with-darkglass-distortion/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thump Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I'm not too sure how many people will find that an affordable price. I'd be interested if it were about $600 cheaper. It definitely looks good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steantval Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Not for me, distorted bass and that style of playing does nothing for me, it’s obviously a bass specifically made for specific genres of music. I’ll stick with my tight/punchy 1990 MM Stingray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Pull all the unnecessary cr*p out of it and you have a handful of hundred quids worth of a decent entry level musicman style bass. That’s all. Dark Ray Schmark Ray 🔨👞 (cobblers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonevibe Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 You lot are so negative... 🤣 I quite like it, but my first instrument is the guitar and so I play bass like a guitarist (badly), so I would rip riffs on it all day long. Different mindset I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMX Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Probably worth buying a used Ray 34 and a Darkglass pedal instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had exactly that and it's an awesome combination. I think I'd rather keep the distortion on a pedal board. My Darkglass B3K overdrive pedal has a huge range of sounds available and I don't see that range could be achieved with onboard distortion where you've not got all the knobs and switches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
