Friendly helpful service
This ever popular stylish beast of a bass belongs to an especially popular family of bass guitars. The Sting Ray Special has been a go to choice for pro players for decades and offers uncompromising levels of build quality with rock solid performance and superb tonal character. This Music Man StingRay Special 4 String Bass in black has an 11"radius Maple fingerboard with 22 high profile wide Stainless Steel frets. Check out the ultra versatile and highly creative 18-volt 3-band EQ preamp. The powerful circuitry allows for extensive sound shaping and ensures that each note is delivered with exceptional clarity and punch.
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 retains the same signature features that it had some forty years ago, including a solid roadworthy construction, iconic oval pickguard, 3+1 tuning key configuration, and the ever-popular Music Man humbucker — all of which combine to produce a look, feel, and sound that is remarkably unmistakable.Powerful neodymium pickups
Equipped with neodymium pickups, the StingRay Special offers a higher output and a wider range of tones than traditional pickups. These magnets are known for their strength and durability, contributing to a bass sound that can punch through dense mixes with ease. The revoiced pickups in this model capture even the subtlest nuances of your playing, making it ideal for both studio recording and live performances.
Comfort and playability
The design of the StingRay Special emphasizes player comfort and ergonomic handling. The lightweight nature of the instrument, combined with its refined body contours, makes long sessions less strenuous. The roasted maple neck not only enhances the bass's aesthetic but also contributes to its smooth playability. A 5-bolt sculpted neck joint allows for unhindered access to the upper frets, facilitating effortless movement along the neck.
Robust and stylish construction
Not only is the StingRay Special a powerhouse in terms of performance, but it also stands out with its solid construction and stylish appearance. The high gloss polyester finish of the body, along with the choice of a black or chrome-plated aluminum control cover, ensures that this bass can handle the rigors of touring while looking great on stage. The iconic oval pickguard and the classic 3+1 tuning key configuration maintain the beloved traditional aesthetics of the Music Man brand.
