A classic with updated electronics and more comfortable feel.
First introduced in 1976, the StingRay has become one of the most iconic bass guitars in history. For 2018, the StingRay has been reimagined with new features and appointments providing a new level of playing comfort while retaining that revered iconic StingRay sound. Featured revisions include an enhanced contour that is rounded for more comfort in any playing position, a sculpted neck joint for uninhibited upper fret access to all 22 stainless steel frets, and lightweight aluminum hardware providing a lighter, more balanced instrument.
The new and improved StingRay Special electronics feature powerful neodymium magnets for higher output and an 18V 3-band preamp for extra clean headroom without clipping. Solid roadworthy construction, elegant oval pickguard, 3+1 tuning key configuration, and the ever popular Music Man humbucker, all together produce a look, feel and sound that is remarkably unmistakable.
This StingRay Speical includes a hardshell case.
