Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 HH Classic Natural MP

Overview
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 Special HH Classic takes the signature StingRay sound and expands it with a dual-humbucker configuration for even more tonal flexibility. With the added low B string and a powerful 18-volt active preamp, this bass delivers massive punch, clarity, and headroom that works across virtually any style.

The roasted maple neck, stainless steel frets, and ergonomic sculpted neck joint provide a smooth playing feel and rock-solid stability. The 5-way pickup selector makes it easy to shift between classic StingRay bite, fuller humbucker warmth, and blended tones that sit perfectly in a mix.

• 5-way pickup selector for multiple pickup combinations
• 18V 3-band active preamp with high headroom and clarity
