Used Sterling by Ernie Ball RAY35 Classic Active 5-String Bass Guitar W/BAG

Sterling by Ernie Ball Ray35 Classic Active is a five-string electric bass that delivers classic StingRay-style punch with modern reliability. This used example features a sunburst finish over an ash body, a maple neck with a maple fretboard, and the iconic oval pickguard. It’s loaded with a powerful humbucking pickup and an active 3-band EQ, giving you plenty of tonal control right from the bass. Condition is solid with light, normal play wear but no major dings or structural issues, and it includes a gig bag for easy transport. If you’re searching for a used Sterling Ray35 bass that looks great and plays clean, this one checks all the boxes.

Plugged in, the Ray35 Classic Active delivers the authoritative low end and aggressive midrange that StingRay-style basses are known for. It’s a great fit for rock, funk, pop, metal, and worship settings, with enough clarity to cut through a dense mix and enough low-end weight to hold things down. The five-string layout makes it ideal for modern players who need extended range for drop tunings or contemporary styles. This bass is equally at home on stage, in rehearsal, or in the studio, and the included gig bag makes it an easy grab-and-go option. These are always in demand, especially at this price point, so it won’t hang around long.
