The Music Man Stingray is a classic bass guitar that has been used by some of the industry's leading musicians, including Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Tim Commerford (Rage Against The Machine). Distinctive for its symmetrical pickguard design and single humbucker, the Stingray is adored for both its unique aesthetics and powerful, punchy sound. The Music Man Stingray Short-Scale bass takes that trusted formula and gives it the compact treatment.
With a far more modest 30" scale length, the Stingray Short-Scale offers a more manageable and playable feel; making stretches easier for the left hand. The shorter scale also give the bass a deeper sound, which is why the Stingray Short-Scale boasts a specially-designed humbucker that features Neodymium magnets; able to project more output and power to compensate for the loss of highs.
Here's what Music Man says about the Stingray Short-Scale Bass:
The Ernie Ball Music Man short-scale StingRay Special bass offers a big thumpy round sound in a convenient smaller package. A 30” scale allows for easier playability due to the shorter spacing between the frets. The body is made from ash and the neck is constructed from hard rock maple with either maple or rosewood fingerboard (depending on colour option).
The Ernie Ball Music Man humbucking pickup, equipped with higher output neodymium magnets, has been specially designed for the short scale bass - providing its signature warm tone. Electronics package includes a 3-way rotary switch featuring parallel, true single-coil, and series modes. All three pickup selections’ audio signals can be augmented by a 20dB boost by engaging the push volume pot.
Like its big brother the Stingray Special, the short scale bass comes standard with a modern classic bridge, 22 stainless steel frets, and new lightweight Music Man tuning machines with a finer gear ratio. Available in Ultramarine Blue and Raspberry Pearl finishes.
