Product Description
The venerable Music Man StingRay model has been at the forefront of the bass world since its introduction in 1976; notably the first production 4-string bass to feature onboard active equalization. The StingRay Special carries the torch into the 21st Century, featuring the same road-ready build and legendary aesthetic that came before, but meticulously refined and updated to suit the most discerning of modern-day bassists.
Boasting a rock-solid construction, the iconic oval pickguard, 3+1 tuning key configuration, and the ever-popular Music Man humbucker — these timeless components combine to produce a look, feel, and sound that is remarkably unmistakable.
Key Features
- Refined Body Contours — Rounded for improved comfort in any playing position while retaining that revered StingRay sound.
- Roasted Figured Maple Neck — Roasting treatment increases the wood's stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes for pitch-perfect tuning. The neck is sealed with a smooth oil/wax finish which helps make it feel similar to a well-played bass neck, and comes topped with a warm-sounding Rosewood fingerboard.
- Stainless Steel Frets — Offer excellent corrosion resistance, with the wide, high-profile fret-type providing a quick response and great articulation.
- 5-Bolt Sculpted Neck Joint — Allows for unrestricted access to all 22 frets, for incredible playing freedom.
- Powerful Neodymium Magnet Pickup — The new and improved StingRay electronics revolve around a punchy neodymium magnet humbucker, which pumps out more output than any previous StingRay pickup.
- 18-Volt Preamp — A newly-designed 3-band preamp delivers ample amounts of clean headroom, meaning that you can crank the volume without "crushing" or distorting your bass sound.
- Re-Engineered Hardware — Redesigned, lightweight tuning machines create a more balanced neck while still providing ultra-reliable tuning stability.
- Crafted in California — Each StingRay is crafted at the Ernie Ball Music Man factory in San Luis Obispo, California; blending the delicate touch of hand craftsmanship and the accuracy of robotic technology.
