Product Overview
First introduced in 1976, the StingRay has been revered as one of the most iconic bass guitars in history. The StingRay was the first production four string bass to feature onboard active equalization. The flagship of the Music Man line, today's StingRay is the same as it was some forty years ago featuring a solid roadworthy construction, elegant oval pickguard, 3+1 tuning key configuration, and the ever popular Music Man humbucker. All of which combined produce a look, feel and sound that is remarkably unmistakable.
The new 2018 Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Special features a fantastic array of upgrades and enhancements. Refined contours and neck joint, redesigned pickups and preamp, lightweight hardware, new neck and fingerboard options and stainless steel frets all come together to take this bass icon to the next level.
