Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Special 5 HH Classic Natural with Mono Case
Originally introduced in 1987 by Ernie Ball Music Man, the StingRay 5 quickly became the go-to choice for extended range basses and has maintained its industry standard status. With its dynamic and robust tone, extra pickups for versatility, and a smooth and ergonomic body design, the StingRay 5 caters to the needs of even the most discerning musicians.
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5-String combines classic tone with modern upgrades for maximum performance. Its ash body, roasted maple neck, and 22 stainless steel frets provide durability, resonance, and a smooth playing experience. The 18-volt, 3-band preamp delivers exceptional headroom and tonal flexibility, while the neodymium pickups offer powerful, clean output in one- or two-pickup configurations. With lightweight hardware, it’s the lightest and most versatile StingRay 5 yet—perfect for stage or studio.
Rock/funk/punk/country/motown/reggae/metal players all have made use of a StingRay, and for anyone needing that low B, it just doesn't get better than this.
