Designed in collaboration with world-renowned bass accessory manufacturer Darkglass Electronics, the DarkRay unlocks a whole new range of sonic capabilities.At the heart of every instrument is its tone: in this case, a new modern 2 Band EQ preamp was designed by Darkglass specifically for the DarkRay. This preamp offers three modes with very distinct and useful sounds: Clean, Alpha (distortion), and Omega (fuzz). Both distortion circuits are fully mixable via an onboard gain knob and blend control manipulated to the user’s preference. Astonishing clean, slight gain, or a brutal fuzz tone is obtainable, all with no low-end loss. A bright LED ring and the 3-way lever switch indicates which mode the bass is in.

The all-new DarkRay is every bit a Stingray Special with neodymium humbucking pickup, roasted maple neck, comfort contoured body, 22 stainless steel frets, and the familiar 3+1 headstock configuration. Available in Starry Night finish.

StingRay meets DarkGlass
Two distortion circuits in one legendary bass!
Select between a clean tone, and 2 unique darkglass distortion circuits: Alpha (red light right) & Omega (blue light ring).
Shape each sound with volume, gain, blend, treble, and bass controls.

This model features a roasted maple neck topped with an ebony fretboard.

This StingRay Special 4H is in factory-fresh condition, with no dings, dents, fretwear, or shop wear. The bass will come with the original EBMM/Mono case, and will ship in the factory packaging.  Yes, the legendary DuBaldo Music Center case candy is also included.
