However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Music Man DarkRay 5 String, Stealth Black is a bold modern bass that fuses stunning looks with serious power. Built with a solid ash body finished in sleek Stealth Black, it offers the perfect mix of striking stage presence and solid low-end authority. A roasted maple neck paired with an ebony fretboard gives it a slick, fast feel with rock-solid stability, while 22 stainless steel frets and a 34" scale length keep everything playing smooth and precise. This is a bass built for players who want both performance and personality in their hands every time they plug in.
At its core lies a custom Darkglass preamp with two distinct distortion circuits, Alpha and Omega, giving you the choice of tight, articulate grit or ferocious, growling aggression at the stomp of a switch. The neodymium humbucker drives out a massive low end with incredible clarity, making it equally at home locking in grooves or tearing through solos. With a reliable Mono Softshell case included, the DarkRay 5 String, Stealth Black is gig-ready and studio-worthy, delivering a versatile palette of tones that make it a true modern classic.

The Music Man DarkRay 5 Silverburst is all about huge, controllable tone thanks to its custom Darkglass preamp. You get a punchy active voice with a musical 2-band EQ, plus two distinct distortion circuits on tap: Alpha for tight, focused grind and Omega for a wilder, more aggressive roar. It’s all switchable at the pedal-free flick of a control, so you can jump from clean authority to snarling attitude without breaking your flow on stage or in the studio
A single neodymium humbucker delivers the perfect blend of thunder and definition. Expect a firm, extended low end that stays tight under the heaviest right-hand work, a clear midrange that cuts through busy mixes, and highs that stay articulate when you open the tone up. The pickup pairs perfectly with the onboard preamp, giving you masses of headroom and a wide, usable sweep from clean modern pop tones to heavy rock grind at a moment’s notice
The roasted maple neck is rigid and resonant, so tuning stays solid across long sets and practice sessions. An ebony fingerboard with 22 stainless steel frets feels slick under the fingers, while the 34" scale keeps tension balanced and intonation spot on. The comfortable profile and tidy fretwork make position shifts feel effortless, and the adjustable truss rod (no component removal needed) means quick setups when you want to dial in action and relief to taste
The Stealth Black finish over an ash body gives the bass real stage presence without adding weight. Hardware is equally dependable: a vintage Music Man top-loaded bridge with black-plated steel saddles, lightweight tuners with tapered posts for tidy wraps, and solid dome knobs you can grab in the dark. It ships with a Mono Softshell case for safe travel, so you’re covered from rehearsal room to festival slot with a rig that looks sharp and performs every single night
