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

Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special HH Violet Sparkle Burst RW

Overview
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special HH in Violet Sparkle Burst pairs bold aesthetics with the unmistakable StingRay voice and expanded tonal flexibility of a dual-humbucker configuration. Built with a select hardwood body and roasted maple neck, it delivers a tight, articulate low end with clear highs and fast response under the fingers.

The 18-volt active 3-band preamp provides massive headroom and dynamic range, while the 5-way switching system unlocks a wide range of usable tones—from classic StingRay punch to more modern, scooped or mid-forward voices. Stainless steel frets and Music Man’s sculpted 5-bolt neck joint round out a bass designed for professional performance.
