For something truly classy and classic, the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special is a red carpet into an exceptional bass guitar experience.

Pairing the classic with the modern, this is a bass to take you on a trip.
The Music Man StingRay Special starts out with an ash body taking Music Man's classic double-cutaway form. This body, effortlessly traveled across a stage, makes for a basic foundation off which the rest of this musical experience can fly. Extending out from this ash body, this StingRay Special features a "C"-shaped roasted maple neck treated to a gunstock oil and special wax finish, making it play without a hitch across its full length. Assembled with a five-bolt sculpted joint, this neck is sturdy and reliable. The roasted maple of this neck matches with an ebony fingerboard bearing twenty-two stainless steel frets. Connecting with a solid yet fluid fretting experience, the StingRay Special is primed for fast maneuvers from lower to higher registers for dynamic and expressive playability.
For its sound, the voice of this StingRay Special pipes up through a single neodymium humbucker wired with a 3-band, 18-volt preamp that offers wide worlds of tone to mix through. Volume, Treble, Mid, and Bass controls enable the exploration of these vivid spectrums of bass tone perfect for any aficionado to really spend time with. These tones are matched with Music Man's hardware specifications including a Vintage Music Man top-loaded steel bridge with black-plated steel saddles. Ensuring a stable foundation, this bridge is paired at the scale's opposite end with custom lightweight Music Man tuning machines with tapered string posts. Totally, this bass is smooth, sturdy, and ready for action. All of this is wrapped up in the StingRay Special's included MONO case.
A star on any stage, this Music Man StingRay Special is your ticket to a VIP bass experience.
