First unveiled in 1987, the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 bass became a success in design, tone, and playability for extended scale basses across the board. Today's StingRay 5 Special bass brings out that same innovative design and driven spirit as the 1980s original with some key added features and appointments. The double-cutaway body is comfortably contoured and fits easily in the arms of any player - only enhanced by a smooth roasted maple neck. A maple fingerboard makes playing the StingRay 5 Special especially fast and effortless. A single humbucking pickup with Neodymium magnets brings out all the punchy tones needed to groove along in a set. The eighteen-volt three-band active EQ preamp puts power in the player's hands to sculpt a spectrum of bass tones to their liking for make an ideal match. Altogether, the StingRay 5 Special is a dynamic instrument for players looking to take their bass experience to the next level.
