Music Man StingRay 5 Special Heritage Natural

The Music Man StingRay 5 Special Classic Natural: Timeless Looks, Unmistakable Stingray Sound

There are basses that you recognize by their sound, and the Music Man Stingray is one of them. The 5-string Special version in Classic Natural combines the familiar Stingray DNA with a finish that puts the beauty of the wood front and center. No distracting color, no frills: just the bass in its purest form. The extra low B-string significantly expands the tonal palette without sacrificing any of the directness and character for which the Stingray is world-famous.

The neodymium humbucker delivers the distinctive Stingray tone: punchy, defined, and with a present midrange that cuts through any mix. The 18V active 3-band EQ gives you precise control over treble, mid, and bass, with the extra headroom and open, dynamic response characteristic of an 18V system. Whether you fingerpick, play with a pick, or slap: the StingRay 5 Special responds directly and honestly to every technique.

The select hardwood body is light and resonant. The roasted maple neck with maple fretboard gives the tone a clear, fast response with a characteristic brightness in the highs. The Stingray Special neck profile with an 11" radius and 22 high profile wide stainless steel frets plays fast and precise across the entire neck. The vintage Music Man bridge with chrome-plated steel plate and nickel-plated steel saddles ensures a direct, defined attack. Custom Music Man lightweight tuners with tapered string posts and ergonomic cloverleaf design. Scale length 34", dot inlays, delivered with soft case.

The Music Man StingRay 5 Special Classic Natural is the bass that doesn't have to prove itself, but does so every time.
