Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special 4 H

Up for sale is a flagship 2024 Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special (Single Humbucker configuration). The StingRay Special represents the absolute pinnacle of modern American bass craftsmanship—built lightweight, highly articulate, and punchy.

Important Tonal Note for Buyers: If you are coming from traditional passive instruments (like a standard Fender P or Jazz bass), please note that the StingRay Special is a completely different machine. Driven by a powerful, high-headroom 18-volt active preamp paired with powerful neodymium magnets, this bass reacts uniquely to your finger dynamics. It is exceptionally clear, precise, and punches with massive modern authority across the frequency spectrum.

Condition Details:

The bass is in fantastic playing shape, but it has been loved and played. There are a couple of little cosmetic scratches on it: one on the headstock and a few minor ones on the body. They are purely cosmetic and do not affect the incredible playability or structural integrity of the instrument. If you would like another picture or specific close-up angles of these areas before purchasing, please just ask! I am happy to provide them.

Current Setup & Upgrades:

 Strings: Currently strung with smooth flatwounds for a punchier, warmer thud.

 Case Included: Ships safely nestled inside a premium, heavy-duty MONO hybrid gig case ($250+ value), offering incredible lightweight protection.

Shipping & Setup Policy (Please Read):

 Shipping Safety: To relieve tension on the neck and protect the instrument from dynamic temperature and pressure changes during transit, the strings will be fully loosened/slackened prior to packing.

 Setup Disclaimer: Because the strings will arrive loose and it is currently strung with flatwounds, you will need to perform a personal setup upon arrival to dial the action, intonation, and neck relief to your exact playing specifications.

 Shipping Protection: I ship strictly using Reverb’s Safe Shipping Protection policy. It will be packed securely, fully insured, and will require a signature upon delivery to ensure a safe transition to its new home.
