Music Man Short Scale StingRay Bass Guitar, Roasted Maple Fingerboard, Midnight Confetti

Don't get it twisted, smaller size doesn't mean smaller tone. With Music Man's brand new short scale iteration of their flagship StringRay bass guitar, full-bodied tone is boasted in a more convenient package—easier to play due to shorter spacing between frets resulting in less of a stretch in the lower registers. Outfitted with StringRay Special appointments, this short scale wonder proves that great things came in small packages.

The short scale StingRay bass begins with a solid ash body sculpted to form the iconic double cutaway silhouette. Touting a high gloss polyester Midnight Confetti finish, and accented by chrome hardware and black pickguard, the dazzling aesthetics of this StingRay perfectly match its timeless empowering tone. Connected to the body is a comfortable "C" shaped roasted maple neck—easy to navigate and smooth across the entire 30" short scale length. Topping the neck is a roasted maple fingerboard, lined with high profile wide stainless steel frets and black dot inlays to guide every players music expedition.

Let's reiterate—short scale doesn't mean shortchanged. This StingRay features all the same hardware appointments as previous full-scale models to provide a genuine Music Man experience. A vintage style Music Man top loaded bridge supplies effortless vibration transfer resulting in the beloved low-end dominate tone. In addition, the adjustable saddles ensure a perfect play when properly setup. On the other end of the bass, a melamine nut supports proper intonation while custom lightweight Music Man tuning machines maintain proper pitches for all jam and recording sessions.

Outputting the signature low-end warmth of a StingRay is the passive neodymium humbucker pickup, configurable by the 3-way rotary switch for parallel, true single-coil, and series utilization. With simple controls of volume and tone, it's never been easier to dial in a thick, full-bodied StingRay bass tone.

Packaged in a Music Man branded Mono soft case, this conveniently sized short scale StingRay bass is ready to go wherever the music takes you.
