Item: EBSTINGRAY5CR
Any style, any band, any stage, The Music Man StingRay 5 is the bass! Very few electric basses offer as much powerful bottom tone or look as cool as the StingRay 5. Introduced in 1976 by Leo Fender, Tom Walker and Sterling Ball, the StingRay was the first bass to feature active electronics and advancements such as a 6-bolt neck joint, contoured body, superior neck truss-rod system, and a rock-solid bridge. Thunderous lows, and punchy mids give this instrument a signature sound that is sought the world over. The Candy Red finish is the proverbial cherry on top. This is a stunning bass at a great price!
The StingRay is constructed with a select ash body, maple neck, Schaller BM tuners, 3-band active EQ, and a massive Music Man humbucking pickup. A true marriage of craftsmanship and technology, the Music Man StingRay has quickly become the "other" bass of choice for the modern bassist. No matter what your style, no matter how fast or technical your playing, this bass can cover you.
