Overview

The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 String truly is a force to be reckoned with. Offering tons of tone shaping options, solid construction and superb feel, the StingRay 5 is five strings of bass playing bliss. The 3 way lever pickup selector switch allows you to run the massive Music Man humbucker in 3 different ways, both coils in series mode, single coil, or both coils in parallel mode. That feature in addition to the 3 band active EQ gives you the ability to get the tone you need without messing with the amp or changing basses. Select hardwood body, maple neck and Schaller tuners top it all off, making the StingRay 5 one of the best basses on the market.

This bass is absolutely flawless. I have played a lot of basses over the years and I'd put this one at the top of the list. The active electronics and dual pickups grant so many tonal options. You can go from thunderous lows, flip the switch to accent the highs for pop/slap playing. Not enough good words to say about this guitar. First out of the case, I noticed some string buzz on the low end (B,E). I didn't feel comfortable messing with it myself so I took it to a luthier that adjusted the bridge in about 10 minutes. I haven't touched my poor Ibanez since.
