Modernized StingRay Bass
With the Music Man StingRay Special EB Raspberry Burst, the traditional Californian company revamps the popular 4-string E-Bass with a number of welcome features, without denying the virtues that have proven themselves since 1976. Accordingly, the E-Bass features a hardwood body with fitted contours, while the bolt-on neck is crafted from Roasted Maple and carries an ebony fingerboard with 22 stainless steel frets. A Music Man standard neodymium humbucker and the active 18 volt 3-band tone control furthermore deliver a particularly flexible, subtly modernized sound without ignoring the distinctive StingRay character. Last but not least, the StingRay Special EB Raspberry Burst Bass features a massive Music ManVintage top-load bridge and Music ManCustom lightweight machine heads specially designed for this model.
The Music Man StingRay Special EB Raspberry Burst convinces thanks to revised features with optimal playability and a variable sound spectrum.
The oiled and waxed roasted maple neck of the Music Man StingRay Special can be played comfortably up to the highest registers thanks to the sculpted neck joint.
Traditional construction with new contours
For the construction of the StingRay Special bass guitar, Music Man relies on a body made of carefully selected hardwood (Select Hardwood), which, with its revised contours, lies even more comfortably on the body and thus guarantees optimal handling. The neck, on the other hand, is made of Roasted Maple, which is insensitive to climate changes thanks to thermal treatment. Thanks to the five-fold screw connection with Sculpted-Neck-Joint, the ebony fingerboard furthermore can be played up to the 22nd stainless steel fret without any problems.
With the powerful Music Man neodymium humbucker and an active 3-band tone control, the Music Man StingRay Special delivers particularly versatile sounds.
Neodymium Pickup and 18 Volt Preamp
The pickup used on the StingRay Special EB Raspberry Burst is a Music Man Standard Neodymium humbucker developed specifically for this model. The powerful magnetic material promises not only an increased output, but also supports a broad sound image with the characteristic sound character of the bass classic from San Luis Obispo. In addition, the typical active electronics for StingRay basses are available, whose operating frequencies for bass, midrange and treble have been revised and thus always provide musical sound images even at extreme settings. Due to the operating voltage of 18 volts, the Music ManPreamp has an increased headroom for a particularly clean and detailed output even with spirited strikes of the strings.
On the headstock of the Music Man StingRay Special EB Rapsberry Burst, lightweight custom machine heads guarantee precise tuning.
Lightweight Music Man Hardware
Last but not least, the Music Man StingRay Special EB Raspberry Burst convinces with an optimized hardware configuration. Accordingly, four Music ManCustom lightweight bass tuners sit at the headstock in the traditional "3+1" arrangement, which counteract unwanted head heaviness through the use of lightweight materials. In conjunction with the compensated saddle, the lightweight tuners also guarantee precise and robust tuning. On the body, on the other hand, a Music Man Vintage top-load bridge made of steel is used, which not only ensures precise adjustment of intonation and string action, but also supports the distinctive tonal character of the bass guitar.
