Compared to the Stingray, the Sterling comes with a smaller body, thinner neck (Jazz Bass type) and the same electronics as the Stingray 5 (Series, Parallel or Single coil modes for the bridge pickup). This particular bass adds a Single Coil pickup at the bridge, meaning it is even more versatile. Ceramic pickups are very powerful so this bass will easily cut through any mix.
Electronics are fully shielded for hum free operation.
