Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Special H Electric Bass – Purple Sunset New

Elegance and Performance – The Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Special H Electric Bass in Purple Sunset

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.
