Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 Translucent Orange RW

Overview
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 in Translucent Orange is a modern take on one of the most recognized bass designs ever made, offering the signature StingRay punch with added refinement, smoother playability, and expanded tonal control. With its 34" scale length and comfortable 5-string layout, it’s built to handle everything from tight funk grooves to aggressive modern rock tones.
