Question: Sterling by Music Man Ray35QM Neptune Blue, versions and availability
I’m confused about the different versions of this model. There seem to be bodies and necks made in Indonesia or Korea, a paler blue finish without burst and a richer blue finish with burst, and labels “Ray35” or “StingRay5”. I have even seen one bass where the finishes did not match: The body had the finish with the burst and the head stock had the paler blue without burst.
One dealer told me, that they have only seen Indonesian ones so far. Will the Korean ones arrive here in Europe some time later? Another dealer said, that these basses are discontinued and not available anymore. Is that correct?
An alternative for me could be the Ray35 Natural. Are there also Indonesian and Korean bodies and necks?
