Combining the unmistakable punch and clarity of a StingRay Special with Darkglass’s renowned bass circuitry, the DarkRay 5 delivers everything from pristine modern tones to aggressive distortion and fuzz all at the flip of a switch. Its lightweight contoured body, roasted maple neck, and neodymium humbucking pickup provide the fast feel, powerful output, and unmistakable response players expect from a premium Music Man bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the DarkRay 5 is a custom-designed Darkglass 2-band active preamp featuring three selectable modes: Clean, Alpha distortion, and Omega fuzz. Independent gain and blend controls allow players to dial in everything from subtle grit to full-on saturated drive while preserving low-end clarity and punch. A color-coded LED ring and intuitive 3-way selector switch make switching between tones quick and effortless, giving bassists an incredibly versatile tonal palette suited for studio sessions, live performance, and modern heavy music applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its innovative electronics, the DarkRay 5 remains true to the StingRay legacy with premium appointments throughout. The roasted maple neck and ebony fingerboard provide exceptional stability and smooth playability, while 22 stainless steel frets and matte black hardware complete the sleek modern aesthetic. A 5-bolt neck joint ensures rock-solid alignment and sustain, accented by a custom Darkglass neck plate that marks this unique collaboration edition. Powerful, refined, and unmistakably modern, the DarkRay 5 is available now at Haggerty’s Music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cspan
