Crafted in partnership with Darkglass Electronics, renowned for their expertise in bass accessories, the DarkRay unleashes a universe of sonic innovation.
At its core lies a cutting-edge 2 Band EQ preamp, custom-crafted by Darkglass, offering three distinct modes: Clean, Alpha (distortion), and Omega (fuzz). Dial in your perfect tone with the onboard gain knob and blend control, seamlessly mixing pristine cleans with aggressive fuzz, all while keeping that low-end power intact. An intuitive LED ring and 3-way lever switch make mode selection a breeze.
The DarkRay is every bit a Stingray Special (5 string) and boasts a neodymium humbucking pickup, roasted maple neck, sleek contoured body, 22 stainless steel frets, and that iconic 4+1 headstock configuration.
