Description
This is the Ernie Ball Music Man DarkRay II. This StingRay Special platform was built with Darkglass Electronics and adds fully integrated polyphonic octave plus dual distortion options on top of the classic Music Man design. We’ll cover the solid ash body, roasted maple neck with gunstock oil and wax finish, ebony board with 22 stainless frets, neodymium humbucker, and the custom Darkglass two-band preamp. Controls include volume, gain (push for Alpha or Omega), octave (push for up or down, also the wet/dry blend), treble, and bass, plus a three-way switch for clean, octave, or octave plus distortion. It runs on two 9-volt batteries and ships with Ernie Ball rechargeables. We’ll also go over the finishes, weight, street price, and who this bass is best for, along with the pros and cons.
All tonal examples in this video are running through an Ampeg PF-50T with all settings flat.
