The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 5 HH electric 5-string bass is an industry-standard five-string bass designed for players who demand massive tone, extended versatility, and unmatched playability. Featuring dual neodymium humbuckers, an 18-volt active preamp, and a contoured, lightweight body, this bass delivers everything from thick, punchy lows to crisp, articulate highs. Whether on stage or in the studio, the StingRay Special 5 HH provides a dynamic tonal palette and effortless playability, making it the go-to choice for professional bassists worldwide.

Dual Humbuckers for Expanded Tonal Range

At the core of the StingRay Special 5 HH 5-string bass is its dual neodymium humbucker configuration, offering a broader frequency response and enhanced tonal flexibility compared to the classic single-pickup StingRay. The pickups provide tight, focused low-end, rich midrange punch, and crystal-clear highs, ensuring this bass can handle any musical genre with ease.

18-Volt Preamp for Maximum Headroom

The onboard 18-volt active preamp gives players expanded headroom, clarity, and dynamic range. The three-band EQ allows for precise tonal shaping, letting you dial in deep, resonant lows, growling mids, or sharp, defined highs. With the additional five-way pickup selector switch, players can explore an array of tonal combinations, making the StingRay Special 5 HH one of the most versatile basses available.

Refined Body and Neck for Superior Comfort

The lightweight, contoured body ensures that long playing sessions remain comfortable, while the roasted maple neck enhances sustain and stability. A smooth satin finish provides a natural feel, allowing for effortless movement across the 22-fret fingerboard. The sculpted five-bolt neck joint increases resonance and improves upper-fret access for fluid soloing and advanced techniques.

Premium Hardware for Rock-Solid Performance

Equipped with a Music Man-designed hardened steel bridge and lightweight custom tuners, the StingRay Special 5 HH 5-string bass delivers unshakable tuning stability and exceptional sustain. The adjustable truss rod with spoke wheel access allows for easy setup adjustments, ensuring your bass plays flawlessly in any environment.
