Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 HH Soda Pink Sparkle MP

Overview
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 HH expands on the classic StingRay platform with a dual-humbucker layout and modern refinements aimed at improving balance, playability, and tonal range. The five-string format delivers a solid, controlled low B while retaining the clarity and punch the StingRay is known for.

This model features a roasted maple neck paired with stainless steel frets for long-term stability and a smooth, consistent feel. The dual neodymium humbuckers are driven by an 18-volt active preamp, offering increased headroom and a wide range of usable tones via the 5-way pickup selector. Finished in Soda Pink Sparkle, this StingRay Special 5 HH combines bold visual appeal with a versatile, professional-grade voice.
