Ernie Ball Music Man Short Scale StingRay - Midnight Confetti #K14519

The Ernie Ball Music Man Short Scale StingRay Bass in Midnight Confetti brings the legendary StingRay character into a compact, expressive short scale design. Its ash body is dressed in a high gloss polyester finish that gives the Midnight Confetti color a vivid, unmistakable presence, while its comfortable dimensions of 12-3/8 inches wide, 1-5/8 inches thick, and 40-7/8 inches long, or 31.4 cm wide, 4.1 cm thick, and 103.8 cm long, create an inviting balance in the hands. With a 30 inch, or 76.2 cm, scale length and a weight of just 6 pounds 13 ounces, this right handed bass offers an agile feel without sacrificing the bold character expected from a StingRay.

The select maple neck is finished with gunstock oil and a hand-rubbed special wax blend, creating a smooth and natural playing surface. A sculpted five bolt neck joint provides strength and stability, while the adjustable truss rod allows for convenient setup adjustments without removing components or strings. The neck measures 1-1/2 inches, or 38.1 mm, at the nut and 2-3/8 inches, or 60.3 cm, at the last fret, with 22 high profile, wide stainless steel frets and 5/16 inch dot inlays. Custom Music Man lightweight tuning machines feature tapered string posts and an ergonomic clover design for precise, comfortable tuning.

The single Music Man humbucking pickup with neodymium magnets delivers the focused punch, clarity, and depth that make the StingRay voice so distinctive. Passive electronics include a 500kohm volume control, 100kohm tone pot, and 0.1uf tone capacitor, with a three-way rotary pickup selector providing tonal flexibility. A vintage Music Man top loaded chrome plated steel bridge plate with vintage nickel plated steel saddles anchors the strings, while the chrome plated aluminum control cover provides electronic shielding and a clean, polished finish.

Strung with 45w, 65w, 85w, and 105w Short Scale Regular Slinky Bass strings, model #2852, the Midnight Confetti Short Scale StingRay is an instrument that combines unmistakable Music Man craftsmanship with an approachable short scale feel. From its shimmering finish and sculpted maple neck to its stainless steel frets, vintage inspired bridge, lightweight hardware, and powerful neodymium humbucker, every detail is designed for effortless musicality. Supplied with a softshell case, it is ready to travel wherever the groove leads, bringing the unmistakable StingRay spirit in a lighter, more intimate, and beautifully distinctive form.
