I am offering an Ernie Ball Music Man PDN Classic StingRay 4 Gilded White from 2012, a manufactured in San Luis Obispo, California (USA), solidbody double cutaway 4-string luxury model limited to only 200 instruments (!) with solid ash body, bolt-on maple neck with 41.3mm nut width, elegant rosewood fingerboard with 21 stainless steel frets and pearl dot inlays, versatile Music Man Standard Humbucker pickup, sophisticated electronics with active/passive 2-band EQ electronics, MM Vintage bridge, and tuning-stable Music Man Schaller Custom tuners, in a beautiful Gilded White high-gloss finish with gold hardware as well as matching white lacquered headstock and neck in very good condition, including Music Man hardshell case and professional setup with 45-105 Elixir strings.

Tony Levin, Cliff Williams, Mark Hoppus... - over the past decades, the US-American premium bass manufacturer Music Man has established itself as the first port of call for numerous world-class bassists. Why? Because every Music Man bass meets the highest standards: selected tonewoods, top-quality hardware, sophisticated electronics, and precise US craftsmanship make Music Mans some of the most sought-after US instruments on the market.

And this special Music Man PDN Classic StingRay 4 Gilded White from 2012 is no exception. As a special model manufactured as part of the 2012 PDN (Premier Dealer Network) series, this Classic StingRay 4 combines an exceptional Gilded White finish, including a neck and headstock painted in the same color, with high-quality features such as gold hardware and a pearloid pickguard. With only 200 units worldwide, this model is a coveted collector's item with a timelessly elegant look.

Plugged into an amp, this electric bass delivers a powerful, defined tone with tight, deep bass, present mids, and brilliant highs. The AlNiCo humbucker delivers the typical StingRay growl with enormous assertiveness in the band structure, and the active 2-band EQ allows bass and treble to be raised or lowered as desired. At the same time, the push/pull tone control allows you to switch between active and passive operation, offering maximum flexibility for stage and studio use.

A sound sample of the model can be found above at the end of the photo gallery.

Visually and technically a real highlight within the StingRay family – limited edition, high-quality workmanship and uncompromising sound.
