Music Man
The StingRay 5 with dual humbuckers. Get deep and dirty with this awesome design. Instead of the traditional single humbucker, this StingRay is armed with 2 of the massive MusicMan pickups with hum-canceling phantom coils. It has an active 3-band preamp, and unique 5-way switching (both coils in series mode, single coil, or both coils in parallel mode). Select hardwood body, maple neck, and Schaller© tuners. Includes hardshell case.
In the fall of 1984 Ernie Ball purchased MusicMan. Its solid reputation for professional electric basses and amplifiers was well known. Leo Fender made the instruments and Tom Walker built the amps. One of those involved in the design of MusicMan's most successful instrument, the StingRay bass, was a young Sterling Ball.
When introduced in 1976 the StingRay bass immediately became a universal favorite of bassists worldwide. The StingRay was the first production bass to feature active electronics and the trademarked 3+1 tuning key headstock configuration.
To help celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the StingRay bass, we took a trip to the MusicMan factory in San Luis Obispo, where we spent an afternoon playing and chatting about various MusicMan instruments with Sterling Ball. The following videos are just a peek at our visit with Sterling -- Enjoy!
