Music Man Stingray Special HH Bass Guitar – Smoked Chrome, Ebony Fingerboard New

Rock The Stage With The Music Man Stingray Special HH Bass Guitar In Smoked Chrome With An Ebony Fingerboard

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 combine to produce a look, feel, and sound that is remarkably unmistakable.

Rebuilt From The Ground Up

Optimized, modernized, yet so familiar, the new StingRay bass is tailor-made for today’s most discerning players

5-Bold Sculpted Neck Joint

The sculpted neck joint provides uninhibited access to all 22 stainless steel frets atop roasted maple necks.

Refined Body Contours

Enhanced body contours are rounded for more comfort in any playing position while retaining that revered, iconic StingRay sound.

Powerful Neodymium Pickups

The new and improved StingRay electronics feature powerful neodymium magnets, bringing you more output and a wider range of sounds.

New 18-Volt Preamp

A newly designed 18-volt 3-Band preamp for extra clean headroom lets you dial in everything from modern punch to classic, vintage tones.

Lightweight Performance

The overall reduction in weight is a much-welcomed feature of the new Stingray Special. Select body woods, improved contours, and lightweight hardware provide greater overall balance for extra comfort and a more enjoyable playing experience.

Re-Engineered Hardware

Reengineered lightweight tuning machines create a more balanced neck while still providing ultra-reliable tuning stability.
