The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 HH represents the evolution of one of the most iconic bass designs ever created, combining legendary StingRay punch with modern refinements, premium craftsmanship, and unmatched versatility. Finished in the striking Anomalous Green gloss finish with a white pearloid pickguard, this StingRay Special 5 HH delivers bold aesthetics and world-class performance in an incredibly lightweight and responsive instrument.
Built from select hardwoods and weighing just 8 lbs 10 oz, the StingRay Special 5 offers exceptional comfort without sacrificing the authoritative low-end presence the model is known for. The roasted maple neck is paired with a sleek ebony fingerboard and finished with Music Man’s signature gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax blend, creating an ultra-smooth and natural playing feel. An 11” radius, 22 stainless steel frets, and sculpted 5-bolt neck joint provide effortless playability and unrestricted upper fret access for demanding players.
Equipped with dual neodymium humbuckers and an 18-volt 3-band active preamp, this HH configuration delivers massive tonal flexibility with incredible clarity, punch, and dynamic response. The 5-way pickup selector unlocks a wide range of sounds—from aggressive modern growl and deep vintage warmth to articulate slap tones and focused midrange punch—making this bass equally at home on stage, in the studio, or across virtually any musical genre.
Additional premium features include a vintage-style Music Man chrome-plated bridge with nickel-plated steel saddles, lightweight custom tuning machines with ergonomic clover keys, and graphite-shielded electronics for ultra-quiet performance. The result is a professional-grade 5-string bass that blends classic StingRay DNA with modern innovation and unmistakable visual appeal.
