Adorned with a gorgeous rosewood fingerboard, this StingRay Special sounds as good as it looks thanks to a pair of high-output neodymium humbucking pickups.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Ash body Strong, snappy responsive tone
Roasted maple neck Bright tone, full sustain and strength
Neodymium StingRay Special humbucker Increased output for a more powerful sound
18v Preamp with 3-band EQ Punchy tone with plenty of flexibility

First introduced in 1976, the StingRay has become one of the most iconic bass guitars in history. The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5HH 5-String Electric Bass with Rosewood Fingerboard provides a modern level of playing comfort while retaining that revered iconic StingRay 5 sound. The instrument's rounded contour provides comfort in any playing position, a sculpted neck joint provides uninhibited upper fret access to all 22 stainless steel frets, and lightweight aluminum hardware provides a lighter more balanced instrument. Improved StingRay electronics feature more powerful neodymium magnets for increased output and an 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.

Bought the 5 string HH HD Yellow. Quality bass. Neck is a thing of beauty - both the roasted maple and gunstock wax finish. Plays fast and on the five string, not very bulky in the hand. It is much lighter than the previous versions of the Stingray (so I've read). As it is my first Stingray, I can't comment on the sound vs. older incarnations - but between the pickups/coil selection and the 3 band EQ you should be able to dial in a tone that suits your needs.

Musical Background:

Paying for 5+ years. Play bass guitar. Primarily bedroon player.

Musical Style:

Rock, hard to progressive.
