Description

The Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Special HH Bass in Grape Crush with a Roasted Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard reimagines the classic 1987 design with modern enhancements, delivering outstanding performance and striking aesthetics, including a sleek black headstock.

Crafted for comfort, the redesigned Stingray Special-style body ensures a pleasant playing experience even during extended sessions. With a focus on weight reduction, this bass is nearly one pound lighter than its predecessors, featuring lightweight Clover-style tuning machines and hardware. Crafted from select hardwood, the iconic Stingray body shape is complemented by an aluminum-lined black oval-shaped pickguard, adding to its allure.

The neck of the Stingray Special HH boasts a premium roasted maple construction securely attached to the body with five bolts, now featuring a luxurious rosewood fingerboard. Treated with a unique blend of special wax and gunstock oil, the back of the neck offers a comfortable feel for the fretting hand as it navigates the 11" radius fretboard with 22 high-wide style frets, providing a total scale length of 34".

Distinguished by its soapbar-style neodymium humbuckers, this bass delivers unparalleled tonal versatility, translating dynamic playing nuances into a rich, low-end punch. The redesigned active pickups, tailored for bass, offer an expanded sonic range covering more of the EQ spectrum than typical bass pickups. The 18-volt preamp system, equipped with a 3-band EQ, further enhances the instrument's versatility.

Finished in a unique Grape Crush hue, the Stingray HH commands attention, with its body coated in high gloss polyester. The fully black headstock adds a final touch of elegance to an already extraordinary instrument.
