From the very first time you plug in your Ernie Ball Music Man BFR StingRay 5, you’ll appreciate both the phenomenal low-end punch and the massive tonal versatility its Music Man humbuckers deliver. Granted, these alnico pickups' stout pole pieces and beefy windings supply a solid foundation for your tone, but it’s the BFR StingRay 5’s 9-volt active preamp and 3-band EQ that really let you sculpt your sound. As a result, everyone from shoegazer-era rockers to funk masters has enjoyed the extreme punch this amazing instrument delivers.

There’s simply no substitute for a great neck. Ernie Ball Music Man put a ton of work into developing a neck that would provide you with the perfect balance of comfort, speed, and stability, and for this BFR StingRay 5, they spec’d premium roasted maple for the neck and high-grade rosewood for the fretboard. Thanks to its hand-rubbed oil finish, the back of the BFR StingRay 5’s neck feels amazing and lets your hand glide along effortlessly. And with its 5-bolt attachment, this bolt-on neck delivers stability that easily surpasses most set necks.

The BFR StingRay 5, like the rest of Ernie Ball Music Man’s StingRay bass lineup, claims roots that run back to the 1970s, when Ernie Ball Music Man was founded. Armed with fat and punchy humbuckers, active electronics, and a delightfully chunky neck, it’s no wonder the StingRay became a standard for such bass players as Guy Pratt, Cliff Williams, and Flea. And this StingRay is outfitted with an ebony fretboard for a smooth, fast feel and added sonic attack.
