Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 Special Electric Bass, 5-String (with Case)

Featuring that iconic design with modern refinements, the 2018 StingRay 5 pays tribute to the original that started it all in 1987. The new and improved StingRay electronics feature more powerful neodymium magnets for increased output and a new 18-volt preamp for extra clean headroom without clipping. Solid roadworthy construction, elegant pickguard, 4+1 tuning key configuration, and the ever popular Music Man humbucking pickup, all of which combined produce a look, feel and sound that is remarkably unmistakable.
