Ernie Ball Music Man Minute: DarkRay Bass (ft. Emma Anzai)

Watch as Emma Anzai, bassist for Sick Puppies demos the DarkRay bass in Obsidian Black.
Find out how to order here: musc.mn/DarkRayBass
The DarkRay 4 string bass was designed in collaboration with world-renowned bass accessory manufacturer Darkglass Electronics, the DarkRay unlocks a whole new range of sonic capabilities. At the heart of every instrument is its tone: in this case, a new modern 2 Band EQ preamp was designed by Darkglass specifically for the DarkRay. This preamp offers three modes with very distinct and useful sounds: Clean, Alpha (distortion), and Omega (fuzz). Both distortion circuits are fully mixable via an onboard gain knob and blend control manipulated to the user’s preference. Astonishing clean, slight gain, or a brutal fuzz tone is obtainable, all with no low-end loss. A bright LED ring and the 3-way lever switch indicates which mode the bass is in. The all-new DarkRay is every bit a Stingray Special with neodymium humbucking pickup, roasted maple neck, comfort contoured body, 22 stainless steel frets, and the familiar 3+1 headstock configuration.

Those muted “triplet” notes sound so sick

[@LoganAndrewOnline]

You could almost say, the sound sick puppies....

[@WolverineBeast86]

Sick Puppies!! Damn I miss them!!

[@TheSlenderBassist]

their new stuff isn’t too bad actually

[@TheMadmausOficial]

@@TheSlenderBassist What new stuff? Have they released anything new after Fury album?

[@usmcyounggun6879]

I’m a guitar player and not a bass player but these riffs that she came up with are really super sick!! Sounds awesome!

[@Endlessnameless803]

Check out Sick Puppies. She’s the bassist/primary songwriter. She is also the new bassist for Evanescence

[@brunoeller1939]

We need a 5 string version!

[@Iostlight]

I wanna make this my ringtone

[@GunterSchnitzel]

Such a cool instrument. Need more stuff like this!

[@thebassbuilder]

That sounded awesome

[@Raul-qv8vw]

I just love it

[@TheSlenderBassist]

by far the next bass I’ll be putting on my rock rack

[@nurk_barry]

Bad ass melody!

[@nancymartin3207]

Emocionante recital

[@ItsFootballBItch]

So so sick.

[@zacharydesjardins8115]

I wish you made this bass in other colors or brought it to your Sterling Line.

[@hvze9848]

So you want them to make a cheaper line of basses all individually loaded with a darkglass alpha omega pre-amp. There’s only 50 of them

[@LoganAndrewOnline]

2023 - Sterling line of Dark Ray is now available!

[@ZackSkyes]

Emma my love 💜

[@talicasmir4623]

Me alegra que seas parte de Evanescence!!!

[@bassimprovjams3772]

She’s awesome!! So glad to see join the dark side with MM !! Love her!!

[@rickgrimes2056]

Can we get some demo’s with little slapping more finger/pick playing

[@cabbycabby1770]

Great playing. Would rather my effects on the floor.

[@Dethcollectors]

It’s a cool idea, amazing bass with the black hardware and all. Is it just me or does it have that weird mid-range type of bite that makes me not even care about Darkglass?

[@Sweetnuglyproductions]

It’s a beautiful bass but I will stick to just buying pedals it’s cheaper

[@susilokurniawan7016]

Drop C??😱😱...what gauge of strings she use on this bass??

[@noahjades5655]

I belive it's D'Addario EXL170-5 5 String Bass Guitar Strings, Light 45-130, Long. She take the b, e ,a and d string.

[@susilokurniawan7016]

I think so ...standart E gauge is around 100 ,detuned/drop it to C make buzzing

[@DomHallBass]

Darkglass X Pedal built into a Stingray...

[@hvze9848]

I believe it’s the fuzz and distortion circuits from the alpha omega

[@thedefonegamer636]

She went from Warwick to Music Man

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Wish the headstock was black.

[@oldmanskid2]

5 string version?

[@brunoeller1939]

I've been asking for this !

[@1realtruthrightnow742]

You know what I LOVE about Emma? She isn't all tatted or pierced up. This woman is pure class

[@PeanutButterPavement]

It's a shame the head stock isn't black as well.

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Personally I’m glad it’s not I do not like matching color headstocks

[@brunoeller1939]

Agreed! Would be so fvcking awesome!
