You just can't get more "baller" than this... The Stingray has been revered as one of the most iconic bass guitars in history. It is simply a performance-built bass any serious player can appreciate.  Feast your eyes on the ridiculous grain of the ash body and prepare to be blown away once you plug her in and let her rock.

The Classic Stingray pays tribute to the original Music Man designs from the mid to late 1970s with added modern refinements. A string through body bridge, mute kit, small profile nickel frets and a curvy 7.5" radius neck are key specifications that harken back to the early days of Music Man production. A modern six bolt neck attachment and an easy access truss rod adjustment wheel ensure solid construction with no hassle adjustments. The classic tone remains true to the original with an ash body, 2 band EQ and a standard Music Man Alnico pickup.

Sporting a beefy alnico-powered humbucker, active 18V three-band EQ and a classic design originated by Leo Fender himself, the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 4 H is the longest-running instrument produced by the company and the brand's unmistakable flagship model. The StingRay's streamlined design and deep, rich response have made it a consistent pick among players for the versatility of its onboard preamp and a favorite of artists ranging from Flea to Colin Greenwood to Cliff Williams of AC/DC fame.

Cosmetically, as you can see in the pictures, this StingRay has dings, dents, bumps and bruises. There are also super fine finish cracks in the neck pocket that are through the finish, not the wood. This natural relic was earned the right way... through nights of hard playing and good times. This is a bass that will allow any player to rock on worry free of adding little nicks or dents.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS INCURRED (NOT CHARGES) WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
