Ernie Ball Music Man BFR Short Scale StingRay – Bombshell #25/105
The Ball family is the last of a dying breed, a family business making premium guitars and basses on the California central coast since 1984. Sterling Ball, alongside his sons Brian and Scott, combine the laser precision of robotics and old-world hand craftsmanship to develop innovative instrument designs that push the boundaries of performance and playability.
This spectacular BFR Stingray “Bombshell” short-scale bass features a lightweight ash body with a hi-gloss black finish. The gloss finished white maple neck/fingerboard is accented nicely with dazzling tortoiseshell block inlays and rarely seen matching shell neck binding. The electronics package is equipped with powerful neodymium humbucking pickup; highlighted with a 3-way rotary switch featuring parallel, true single-coil, and series tones. Other key features include a matching painted black headstock, matching tortoiseshell pickguard, chrome hardware, and ergonomic, lightweight cloverleaf tuners. Limited to 105 pieces worldwide.
