Frequently Asked Questions

Active EQ provides more precise control over frequencies, but requires a 9V battery and can be more susceptible to noise if shielding isn't perfect.
The neck is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the 38mm nut width might feel slightly narrower than some prefer with larger hands – best to try before you buy if possible.
While sharing the StingRay name, the Sterling version offers a different sonic character due to the basswood body and humbucker, delivering a more focused and aggressive tone than the traditional Jazz Bass StingRay.
