The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special HH electric bass blends the vintage vibe of the original 1976 StingRay with contemporary upgrades designed for today's bassists. This iconic bass offers the versatility to cover any genre, with a powerful preamp, versatile pickups and premium components built to handle the rigors of professional performance.

Crafted With Iconic Styling Cues From the Original StingRay

While the StingRay Special HH includes modern enhancements, it retains the iconic oval pickguard, 3+1 tuning key configuration and Music Man humbuckers of the 1976 original. The solidbody construction provides clear, balanced tone and roadworthy durability. Combined with the distinctive styling, this bass has the legendary StingRay sound and look that has defined the instrument for over 40 years.

Equipped With Custom Humbuckers for Versatile Tone

The StingRay Special HH features two Music Man humbucking pickups that enable a wide tonal range. The bridge pickup delivers an aggressive bite perfect for rock, while the neck pickup produces a smooth, round sound ideal for jazz and funk. Used together, the pickups give you the punchy, articulate tone the StingRay is revered for in any musical situation.

18-Volt Preamp Provides Massive Headroom

An 18-volt preamp gives the StingRay Special HH more than enough power for any playing style. The three-band active EQ lets you boost or cut the bass, mids and treble up to 15dB so you can shape your tone with precision. Sculpt a thunderous rock bass, dial in a tight funk slap sound or get a clear jazz walking tone.

Upgraded With a Roasted Maple Fingerboard

While visually similar to the original, the StingRay Special HH has several modernized features. The roasted maple fingerboard enhances playability with smooth, comfortable edges. Combined with lightweight tuners, these upgrades shave off weight to reduce fatigue. The contoured body sits naturally against your body for all-night comfort.

Built With Premium Components

From the graphite-reinforced maple neck to the stainless steel frets, every detail on the StingRay Special HH is optimized for pro-level performance. The high-mass bridge provides rock-solid intonation, while Schaller tuners keep tuning stable under aggressive playing. A custom Mono case protects your investment in this iconic bass.
