Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 Violet Sparkle Burst RW w/case

Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 Violet Sparkle Burst RW

Overview
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 in Violet Sparkle Burst delivers the signature StingRay punch with a modern, refined feel and the added depth of a 5-string platform. Built with a select hardwood body and a roasted maple neck, this bass offers a fast response, strong low-end definition, and excellent clarity across the entire range.

Its powerful 18-volt 3-band active preamp provides plenty of headroom, making it easy to shape everything from tight modern slap tones to thick, aggressive fingerstyle sounds. With stainless steel frets, a comfortable 11" radius, and Music Man’s lightweight hardware, this StingRay Special 5 is built for serious performance and long sets.
