Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 Anomalous Green EB

Overview
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 Special is a modern evolution of one of the most recognizable bass designs ever made, delivering the signature StingRay punch with added refinement, stability, and tonal control. With its extended-range low B string and powerful active electronics, this bass is built to handle everything from tight modern grooves to aggressive rock and funk tones with clarity and authority.

Finished in Anomalous Green, this StingRay 5 Special pairs a roasted maple neck with an ebony fingerboard for a fast feel and articulate response. The neodymium humbucker and 18-volt 3-band preamp provide massive headroom and clean output, while the 3-way pickup selector offers additional tonal flexibility beyond the traditional StingRay voice.
