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 and boasts a neodymium humbucking pickup, roasted maple neck, sleek contoured body, 22 stainless steel frets, and that iconic 3+1 headstock configuration.
The DarkRay is equipped with a new modern 2 Band preamp that Darkglass specifically designed. The preamp is extremely clean and quiet with adjustable volume, gain, bass, treble, and blend controls to achieve the desired tone.
The Darkglass preamp offers two highly regarded drive circuits, Alpha(tight distortion) and Omega(fuzz). Both distortion circuits are fully mixable via an onboard gain knob and blend control manipulated to the user’s preference with no low-end loss. Via the 3-way lever switch, a bright color-coded LED ring is illuminated, signifying which mode the bass is in.
The DarkRay bass is every bit a Stingray Special with neodymium humbucking pickup, roasted maple neck, comfort contoured body, 22 stainless steel frets, all black hardware, and the familiar 3+1 headstock configuration.
