The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special in Yellow Brick Road delivers the signature StingRay punch with a modern feel and improved refinement throughout. Built with select hardwoods and paired with a roasted maple neck, this bass offers a fast, comfortable playing experience with excellent resonance and clarity.

Its single Neodymium humbucker and 18-volt active 3-band preamp provide the classic StingRay snap, tight low end, and cutting midrange presence that works equally well for funk, rock, pop, and modern worship styles. With high-headroom EQ response and stainless steel frets, the StingRay Special is built to perform consistently on stage and in the studio.
