KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Signature Oil & Wax Finish

A roasted maple neck with an oil-and-wax finish delivers the smooth, natural feel that defines the modern StingRay experience, with an ultra-comfortable profile and fast-playing surface that feels broken-in from the first touch.

Powerful Humbucker Tone

The Session StingRay pairs an alnico 5 humbucker with an onboard 3-band active EQ preamp for the punch, grit, and presence that made the StingRay a studio and stage staple. Adjustable bass, midrange, and treble controls let players dial in everything from deep lows to crisp, articulate highs.

Best of Both Eras

The Session StingRay pays tribute to the original bass design, bringing back era-inspired details like Schaller tuners alongside refinements like the Session bridge and compensated nut for improved intonation.
