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

Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special Violet Sparkle Burst RW

Overview
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special in Violet Sparkle Burst delivers the classic StingRay punch in a refined, modern platform. With its select hardwood body and roasted maple neck, this bass offers a tight, responsive feel with strong fundamental low end and crisp articulation up top.

The 18-volt active 3-band preamp provides exceptional headroom and dynamic range, allowing you to shape everything from clean, defined slap tones to thick, driving rock sounds. Stainless steel frets, a sculpted 5-bolt neck joint, and Music Man’s vintage-style bridge design round out a bass built for reliability and serious performance.
