Music Man history begins in the early 70's, when Leo Fender, just off the Company he founded 5 years ago, starts to think that his future might be a new Company called Music Man. Tireless worker, Leo kicks off his new activity in 1972 by building is first instrument, a new bass, obviously. It is the beginning of Music Man bass. There will be amps, electric guitars, etc. Relying on 20 years of experience, Leo builds awesome instruments, and amongst them the active Sting Ray bass, that shortly after its introduction becomes an absolute reference in the music world.
The Music Man Sting Ray Special 5H Roasted MN Black is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, and it certainly sounds like one. We chose it because it seemed particularly 'open' to us, and the body wood is clearly a beautiful piece; the effects are evident when you plug it in. With its ash body and a 34-inch scale length, this bass delivers a powerful resonance.
The neck, carefully bolted on, is made of torrefied maple, offering both stability and a comfortable 11-inch radius. For optimal playability and enhanced reliability, the rosewood fretboard features 22 stainless steel frets. Fitted with a single Music Man Neodymium Humbucker, this bass produces a rich and dynamic sound. The Vintage Music Man bridge, combined with Custom Music Man tuners, ensures precise tuning and reliable performance.
Mastery over your sound is at your fingertips with the 3-position pickup selector, volume control, and 3-band equalization system, powered by an 18 Volt preamp. The Music Man Sting Ray Special 5H Roasted MN Black showcases exceptional design and musical innovation.
