Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 Soda Pink Sparkle MP

Overview
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 builds on the familiar StingRay foundation with modern refinements aimed at improving balance, playability, and tonal flexibility. This five-string configuration delivers a tight, focused low B while maintaining the punchy midrange and clear top end that define the StingRay sound.

Finished in Soda Pink Sparkle, this model pairs a roasted maple neck with stainless steel frets for stability and a smooth, consistent feel across the fretboard. The 18-volt active preamp offers generous headroom and precise EQ control, making this StingRay Special 5 a reliable option for players who need clarity and authority across a wide range of musical settings.
