If you're looking to invest in a premium-grade bass guitar that's designed to inspire greatness, with classic looks, superb playability, and unbeatable tone, then the Music Man StingRay Special with a Burnt Ends finish could be just the thing for you!

A Modern Take On An Iconic Bass

The StingRay has been the bass of choice for many of the world's top players for more than four decades, and within moments of playing one for the first time it's easy to see why.

From their very first incarnation these excellent instruments have offered great levels of playability combined with power and articulation, and have now been refined further in the shape of the incredible StingRay Special.

Music Man StingRay Special Bass, Burnt Ends Highlights

  • Modern take on the classic Stingray
  • Select Roasted Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard
  • Humbucker pickup with 18v 3-band active EQ, and 3-way voicing selector switch for extra versatility
  • Lightweight, well-contoured body offers a supremely comfortable playing experience
  • Burnt Ends body finish with a Shell pickguard
  • Includes hardshell case

Refined Contours

Featuring a rock-solid construction, slim-contoured body, active 18v 3-band EQ, sleek and comfortable neck profile, and a powerful neodymium humbucker, the new StingRay Special is quite possibly the best StingRay ever produced.

Modern upgrades on the StingRay Special include a Roasted Maple neck and fingerboard, Matte Black hardware, sculpted neck joint, and the afore-mentioned pickup, all of which come together for a much-improved playing experience.

Plenty Of Thump

In place of the more traditional Alnico magnet humbucker, Music Man have opted for Neodymium magnets in their StingRay Special lineup.

As Neodymium has a much stronger magnetic pull than Alnico, you can be sure of a much more articulate sound, with each nuance of your playstyle being evident.

Premium-Grade Electronics

This is also helped by the 18v preamp built into the StingRay Special Lineup, giving you a much more powerful sound than ever before, whilst retaining that vintage StingRay tone.

In addition to this, the StingRay5 Special comes equipped with a 3-way selector switch too. This switch changes the voicing of the pickup, giving you the option of a traditional humbucker, single coil, and a series humbucker (similar to a P-bass split coil) sound.
