Powerful neodymium pickups
Equipped with neodymium pickups, the StingRay Special offers a higher output and a wider range of tones than traditional pickups. These magnets are known for their strength and durability, contributing to a bass sound that can punch through dense mixes with ease. The revoiced pickups in this model capture even the subtlest nuances of your playing, making it ideal for both studio recording and live performances.
Comfort and playability
The design of the StingRay Special emphasizes player comfort and ergonomic handling. The lightweight nature of the instrument, combined with its refined body contours, makes long sessions less strenuous. The roasted maple neck not only enhances the bass's aesthetic but also contributes to its smooth playability. A 5-bolt sculpted neck joint allows for unhindered access to the upper frets, facilitating effortless movement along the neck.
Robust and stylish construction
Not only is the StingRay Special a powerhouse in terms of performance, but it also stands out with its solid construction and stylish appearance. The high gloss polyester finish of the body, along with the choice of a black or chrome-plated aluminum control cover, ensures that this bass can handle the rigors of touring while looking great on stage. The iconic oval pickguard and the classic 3+1 tuning key configuration maintain the beloved traditional aesthetics of the Music Man brand.
