Dual humbuckers for expanded tonal versatility.
Since its debut in 1976, the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay has been one of the most recognizable and sought-after bass guitars in the industry. As the first production bass to feature onboard active equalization, the StingRay revolutionized bass tone and continues to set the standard for power, clarity, and performance. The StingRay Special HH model takes that legacy even further, featuring dual neodymium humbuckers for expanded tonal options, a lightweight contoured body, and an 18V preamp for increased headroom and dynamic range. Built for professionals, the StingRay Special HH delivers an unmistakable sound with unmatched playability.
Enhanced Dual Humbucker Configuration
The StingRay Special HH features two neodymium humbuckers, providing a broader range of tonal possibilities compared to the classic single-humbucker model. The five-way pickup selector switch allows players to toggle between multiple pickup combinations, from full-bodied humbucker tones to more articulate, single-coil-like settings. Whether you need deep, punchy lows, cutting mids, or sparkling highs, the dual-pickup configuration ensures versatility for any playing style.
Refined Construction for Comfort and Playability
Designed with player comfort in mind, the StingRay Special HH boasts a select tonewood body with sculpted contours for a sleek, ergonomic feel. The roasted maple neck offers superior stability, enhanced resonance, and a smooth playing surface, while the lightweight aluminum hardware ensures a well-balanced instrument that reduces player fatigue. The 3+1 tuning key configuration maintains Music Man's signature aesthetic while providing precise and reliable tuning.
Powerful 18V Preamp and Three-Band EQ
The upgraded 18V preamp offers increased headroom, allowing for a more dynamic, detailed tone with remarkable clarity. The three-band active EQ provides deep lows, growling mids, and crisp highs, letting players shape their tone with precision. Whether laying down solid grooves or cutting through the mix in a live performance, the StingRay Special HH delivers a powerful and articulate sound.
Road-Ready Hardware and Durability
The Music Man hardened steel bridge ensures rock-solid sustain and tuning stability, while the custom lightweight tuners provide accurate tuning adjustments with a smooth feel. The bass is built with high-quality electronics and premium components, ensuring it holds up under the demands of the road and the studio.
A Modern Take on a Timeless Classic
The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special HH retains all the essential features that have made the StingRay an icon for over 40 years while introducing modern refinements for today's bass players.
