The Playability of the StingRay Body

An undoubtedly cool facet of your StingRay bass is its incredibly comfortable body contour. A very deep cutaway allows you plenty of access to those higher frets if you want to get a little more melodic with your notes. This curvy and slim cut hugs against your front in a very relaxed and natural feel, so you can move around freely during your performance without your instrument weighing you down.

Bright and Comfortable Maple Neck

Maple necks are great for a bright and snappy tone that cuts through the air in precise and rigid fashion. Your StingRay's fretboard is smooth to the touch, and its 21 high-profile narrow frets harness a tight action that allow for seamless playability between notes. The natural feeling and relaxed utility of this neck will allow you to stick to your drummer's kick drum like glue.

Warm and Articulate Music Man Humbucker

This pickup's proximity to your StingRay's bridge gives it a slightly aggressive attack that can easily be smoothed over with your EQ controls. This pickup is all about full-bodied bass tone with no mud or unwanted noise. Each note will achieve great articulation for a signal eager to make its way to your amplifier.

Volume and Two-Band EQ Controls

A set of master level and EQ controls are available for you to fine-tune your signal to your personal preferences. With bass and treble dials to craft the right sonic contour, you've got a lot of freedom to hone in on the tonal exact style that the gig demands. Once you fire this baddie up, you'll never want to put it down!
