Music Man's Stingray Bass has been a staple in the bass world for over 25 years. The classic combination of swamp ash, maple neck and Music Man's humbucking pickup and active 3 band preamp makes for a powerful bass that excels across all genres of music. Take a look around at any pro level music group and you will probably see a Stingray up there pounding out the groove. Our take on this classic icon is faithful to the original. We use light weight Swamp Ash bodies, maple necks with maple or rosewood fingerboards. The Music Man designed humbucking pickup is paired with the Music Man designed active 3 band preamp. Controls for bass, mid, treble and volume act the same as the USA made bass. The sound is the classic reliable tone you've come to expect from the Stingray, cutting, present with a full round bottom end that anchors the music.
