With Music Man's new short scale version of their flagship StingRay bass guitar, you'll get the same full-bodied sound in a more compact, player-friendly package. The shorter scale length reduces the distance between frets, making lower-register playing more comfortable and requiring less stretch. Equipped with StingRay Special appointments, this short scale powerhouse proves that great things really do come in small packages.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe short scale StingRay starts with a solid ash body sculpted into the iconic double cutaway silhouette. Finished in a high gloss polyester Ghostwood white and complemented by chrome hardware and a black pickguard, its striking aesthetics perfectly match its timeless, commanding tone. Bolted to the body is a comfortable \"C\" shaped roasted maple neck that's smooth to navigate across the entire 30\" scale length. Topping the neck is a roasted maple fingerboard fitted with high-profile wide stainless steel frets and black dot inlays to guide every musical adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eLet's reiterate—short scale doesn't mean shortchanged. This StingRay features the same premium hardware appointments found on its full-scale counterparts, delivering an authentic Music Man experience. A vintage-style Music Man top-loaded bridge provides excellent vibration transfer for the signature punchy low-end response, while adjustable saddles allow for precise setup and dependable playability. At the opposite end, a melamine nut promotes accurate intonation, and custom lightweight Music Man tuning machines keep tuning stable through rehearsals, performances, and recording sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDelivering the unmistakable warmth and punch of a StingRay is a passive neodymium humbucker pickup, paired with a 3-way rotary switch offering parallel, true single-coil, and series wiring options. Simple volume and tone controls make it easy to dial in the thick, full-bodied StingRay sound players know and love.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003ePackaged in a Music Man branded Mono soft case, this conveniently sized short scale StingRay is ready to go wherever the music takes you.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30\" short scale length StringRay bass guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsh body with high gloss polyester finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoasted maple neck in C profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoasted maple fingerboard with stainless steel frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Music Man tuning machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage Music Man top loaded bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassive neodymium StingRay humbucker pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMono soft case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Music Man","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55607195238568,"sku":"200GO1201MBC2","price":2699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/200GO1201MBC2-music-man-short-scale-stingray-bass-guitar-ghostwood-1.png?v=1786464162","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/music-man-short-scale-stingray-bass-guitar-ghostwood","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
