The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 Special represents the evolution of one of the most iconic bass designs in modern music. Since its introduction in the late 1970s, the StingRay has been revered for its unmistakable punch, clarity, and authoritative low-end presence. The Special series modernizes that legendary platform with improved ergonomics, lighter construction, and refined electronics — while preserving the unmistakable StingRay voice heard on countless recordings across rock, funk, pop, and jazz.

This model features an ash body finished in striking Anomalous Green, paired with a roasted maple neck and ebony fingerboard for exceptional stability, smooth playability, and bright articulation. The roasted maple neck is finished with Music Man’s signature gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax, creating a fast, natural feel that players love. A 5-bolt sculpted neck joint improves upper-fret access across all 22 stainless steel frets, while the 34-inch scale length and comfortable 11-inch fingerboard radius provide the perfect balance between traditional feel and modern performance.

At the heart of the StingRay 5 Special is Music Man’s powerful neodymium humbucking pickup paired with an 18-volt active 3-band preamp, delivering enormous headroom and tonal flexibility. Whether dialing in vintage warmth, modern slap clarity, or aggressive rock punch, the onboard EQ allows precise shaping of your sound. Combined with lightweight hardware, a vintage-style bridge, and Music Man’s renowned build quality, the StingRay 5 Special remains one of the most versatile and stage-ready basses available today. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this stylish low-end tone machine ships with a sturdy MONO hard bag, for safe, convenient transport.
