    The StingRay armed with dual humbuckers and an ultrafast Sterling neck.

    The Music Man StingRay Slo Special 4-String HH Electric Bass is constructed with a select hardwood body, select maple neck, Schaller BM tuners, and a 3-band active EQ. This version offers dual Music Man humbucking pickups with 5-way switching for an even greater range of sound.

    Few basses are as flat-out cool or have as much powerful tone as the famous StingRay. When it was introduced in 1976, it was the first bass to feature active electronics. Advances such as a 6-bolt neck joint, contoured body, superior neck truss rod system, and rock-solid bridge keep the StingRay Slo Special bass in an exclusive collection of high-end basses.

    The Sterling neck is a thinner profile than the standard StingRay, so you can fly up and down the neck at lightning speed. The comfort pays for itself.

    Comments about Music Man StingRay Slo Special 4 String HH Electric Bass:

    I have owned this bass since July 2011.I have been playing bass guitar for 44 years and usually played a Fender AmericanPrecision or Jazz. I play blues,classic rock, and am doing some Indie rock now. The past five years I have depended on my Fender American Jazz Deluxe which never failed me. I saw this slo special in a Columbus guitar store and tried it out. I couldn't believe the sound of this baby and the neck was awesome. The neck does not have a lacquered finish on it and is really fast and smooth without any drag. I went back home and ordered this in the beautiful color of Black Cherry Sunburst which I had to wait a month since it was backordered in this color. I received it in great shape in a hardshell case and proceeded to unplug my Jazz and hooked this baby up to my Ampeg SVT VR with 8-10 speaker cab and I couldn't believe my ears.This bass rocks and the tone is awesome.All of my bandmates were impressed with the sound and quality of this bass and I am gigging weekly with it. This is my main bass now and I hate to say it but I haven't plucked the old Jazz since.I highly recommend this instrument.
    5 band pickup switch is awesome and I love the unlacqured neck. The dual humbuckers speak for themselves.
    Beautiful instrumentand neck and frets are great. Intonation up and down the neck is precise right out of the box.
    It is an awesome instrument and was well worth it to me.

    The best of all worlds!

    By Where's My Mule?

    Comments about Music Man StingRay Slo Special 4 String HH Electric Bass:

    I always loved the Stingray body style and sound, but the neck was just too thick and wide for me. I own a number of Music Man Sterlings because they have the most comfortable neck on any bass I've ever played/owned (which is virtually every brand). However, while I love the Sterlings, there was something about the Stingray's classic body shape and use of Alnico magnets in the pickups (Sterlings use Ceramic which are "hotter" and more modern sounding) that I always wanted to have. When Music Man came out with a Stingray with the Sterling neck (i.e., this SLO Special), they combined the best of both worlds. Such a smart move by the company to recognize the desirability of this configuration. I own the SLO Special HS version. The classic Music Man look and sound with a neck that never is a struggle to play. Also, unlike some other brands that put a heavy gloss on the back of the neck (which seems nice at first but turns out to cause terrible "thumb drag"), the Stingray has the awesome wax/oil combination which give Music Man necks that characteristic unfinished wood feel that makes playing all night long effortless and comfortable. Another nice thing about the Stingray compared to the Sterling is that it has more space between the neck pickup and fretboard (and one less fret) so that slapping/popping is easier. This is really the ideal bass and it is highly recommended. It is a bit heavy like all Stingrays, but the comfort you'll experience with the Sterling neck and a nice place to rest your thumb on the dual pickups more than makes up for it.
