Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special H - Translucent Orange #K09250

The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special H – Translucent Orange is a bold, modern evolution of one of the most iconic bass designs ever created. Instantly eye-catching, the Soda Pink Sparkle finish shimmers under stage lights, pairing classic StingRay attitude with a fresh, contemporary edge. Built from select hardwoods and finished in high-gloss polyester, the body delivers a lively, resonant response while maintaining the durability and refined feel Music Man instruments are known for.

Designed for comfort and performance, the StingRay Special features a 34" scale length and a sleek neck with an 11" radius, offering a familiar feel that balances fast playability with solid support for aggressive techniques. The select roasted maple neck enhances stability and resonance, while the gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax finish provides a smooth, natural feel that never gets sticky under the hands. With 22 high-profile, wide stainless steel frets and a sculpted 5-bolt neck joint, access to the upper register is effortless, making this bass equally comfortable for groove-heavy lines and expressive lead work.

At the heart of the StingRay Special H is its legendary punch and clarity. The single humbucking pickup with neodymium magnets delivers massive output, tight lows, and articulate highs, all with the unmistakable StingRay growl that cuts through any mix. A powerful 18-volt 3-band active preamp provides ample headroom and precise control via volume, treble, mid, and bass knobs, allowing players to dial in everything from deep, rounded lows to aggressive, modern slap tones with ease.

Premium hardware ensures rock-solid reliability on stage and in the studio. The vintage Music Man top-loaded bridge with chrome-plated steel plate and vintage nickel saddles enhances sustain and attack, while custom lightweight Music Man tuning machines with tapered posts and ergonomic clover keys maintain excellent balance and tuning stability. An adjustable truss rod allows easy setup without removing strings or hardware, and the aluminum control cover provides effective electronic shielding.

Strung with Super Slinky Bass strings (45–100) and built to exacting standards, the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special H – Translucent Orange is a modern classic—powerful, expressive, and unmistakably iconic. Whether holding down the groove or stepping into the spotlight, this bass delivers the tone, feel, and visual presence that have defined the StingRay legacy for decades.
