Music Man StingRay Special 5 HH Bass Guitar in Classic Natural

The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 takes the legendary 5‑string ‘Ray formula and gives it a sleek modern makeover. You still get that iconic StingRay punch and presence, but now with refined playability and performance that pushes it into proper next‑gen territory.

Seriously solid, seriously smooth

With its Ash body, roasted Maple neck and 22 stainless‑steel frets, this thing is built to go the distance. You’re getting rock‑steady reliability, bags of sustain and a silky playing feel that’ll keep you locked in from the first tune to the last encore.

Electronics that pack a punch

Inside, an 18‑volt 3‑band preamp gives you loads of headroom and seriously flexible tone‑shaping. Pair that with a powerful pair of neodymium pickups and you’ve got crisp, clean output that cuts through any mix without ever breaking a sweat.

Gig‑ready & built to bring the boom

Add lightweight hardware into the mix and you’ve got one of the most comfortable, versatile StingRays ever made. Whether you’re tracking in the studio or rattling the rafters live, this bass is an absolute tone beast with that classic look that never goes out of style.
