The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special H – Dazzler is a modern evolution of one of the most iconic bass designs ever created—refined, re-voiced, and reimagined for today’s demanding players. Its unmistakable presence begins with the StingRay's classic silhouette, measuring 13-1/2" wide, 1-5/8" thick, and 44-7/8" long (34.3 cm × 4.1 cm × 114.0 cm). The select hardwood body, finished in a brilliant high-gloss polyester Dazzler finish, radiates with stage-ready sparkle and premium craftsmanship. This bold visual statement is matched with the StingRay’s legendary build quality, including a vintage Music Man® top-loaded chrome-plated steel bridge outfitted with nickel-plated steel saddles, offering solid intonation, tuning stability, and classic StingRay punch.

At the heart of the Dazzler is the signature StingRay voice, powered by a potent single humbucker with neodymium magnets. This pickup gives the bass its unmistakable clarity, growl, and powerful low-end presence. The electronics are enhanced with a 3-band active preamp, delivering 18 volts of headroom for remarkable dynamic range and clean output even under heavy playing conditions. With dedicated volume, treble, mid, and bass controls, the StingRay Special H offers a wide tonal palette—from scooped, modern slap tones to thick, aggressive fingerstyle punch. Electronic shielding is ensured through a chrome or black plated aluminum control cover, depending on the body color, keeping the signal clean, quiet, and performance-ready.

The neck is crafted from select roasted maple, providing exceptional stability, improved resonance, and a smooth playing feel. Its 11" radius and 1-11/16" nut width (42.86 mm) tapering to 2-1/2" at the last fret (63.5 mm) make it fast and comfortable for any style. Players can choose from maple, rosewood, or ebony fingerboards depending on body color, each paired with 22 high-profile, wide stainless steel frets for long-lasting durability and effortless articulation. The gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax finish on the neck creates a natural, silky feel, while the finished headstock completes the clean, classic aesthetic. With a compact 8-3/4" headstock and custom lightweight Music Man tuning machines featuring tapered posts and ergonomic clover keys, the instrument maintains superb balance and tuning stability.

A 5-bolt sculpted neck joint ensures perfect alignment and enhanced upper-fret access, giving players freedom across the entire fingerboard. The adjustable truss rod allows simple setup tweaks without removing strings or hardware, making maintenance fast and hassle-free. Strung with 45w-65w-80w-100w Ernie Ball Super Slinky Bass strings (#2834), the StingRay Special H – Dazzler arrives ready for the stage, studio, or any musical setting that demands precision tone and unmistakable StingRay character.

Bold in appearance, powerful in tone, and effortless in feel, the StingRay Special H – Dazzler blends classic lineage with modern refinement—making it a world-class instrument for bassists who want both iconic heritage and cutting-edge performance.
