Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special HH Bass Guitar

A Classic Groove Machine Reborn
Born in the '70s, the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay bass has become the go-to bass for countless bassists cross genre. Today's StingRay Special 4 HH benefits from the latest updates to this legendary instrument. Stainless steel frets deliver long-term durability, even under the fingers of the most aggressive player. Two powerful humbucking pickups have been redesigned for more punch and sonic range, and the updated 18-volt preamp system delivers massive headroom for a wide dynamic range. And to help you get through long sessions more comfortably, the body has been redesigned, while lighter-weight tuning machines and hardware contribute about a pound of weight relief. Resplendent in its stunning Sweetwater Exclusive Eclipse Sparkle custom finish, this StingRay Special 4 HH is a rare find, so better grab it while you can!



Killer electronics for super-punchy bass sound
From the very first time you plug in your Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 4 HH, you'll appreciate both the phenomenal low-end punch and the massive tonal versatility its soapbar-style humbucker delivers. Granted, this neodymium pickup's stout pole pieces and beefy windings supply a solid foundation for your tone, but it's the StingRay Special 4 HH's 18-volt active preamp and 3-band EQ that really let you sculpt your sound. As a result, everyone from shoegazer-era rockers to funk masters has enjoyed the extreme punch this amazing instrument delivers.




Premium maple neck plays like a dream
There's simply no substitute for a great neck. Ernie Ball Music Man put a ton of work into developing a neck that would provide you with the perfect balance of comfort, speed, and stability, and for this StingRay Special 4HH, they spec'd premium roasted maple for the neck and ebony for the fingerboard. Finished with a blend of special wax and gunstock oil, the back of the StingRay 4HH's neck feels amazing and lets your hand glide along effortlessly. And with its 5-bolt attachment, this bolt-on neck delivers stability that easily surpasses most set necks.




Loaded with StingRay style, sound, and innovation
The StingRay Special 4 HH, like the rest of Ernie Ball Music Man's StingRay bass lineup, claims roots that run back to the 1970s, when Ernie Ball Music Man was founded. Armed with fat and punchy humbuckers, active electronics, and a delightfully chunky neck, it's no wonder the StingRay became a standard for such bass players as Guy Pratt, Cliff Williams, and Flea. And this StingRay is outfitted with an ebony fretboard for a smooth, fast feel and added sonic attack.
