Here for sale we have an Ernie Ball Musicman Stringray5 H electric bass guitar in Natural Gloss finish. Made in the USA in 2013, this bass features a bolt-on construction comprising an Ash body, Maple neck and 22 fret Maple fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted including a Standard Musicman bridge & open-geared Musicman tuning machines. A single Musicman humbucking pickup is wired to an on-board active preamp with controls for master volume & 3-band EQ.
The Maple neck plays very well, with a profile that might be described as a moderately-sized 'C' shape which sits comfortably in the hand and provides a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register. The satin finish to the rear assists with slick navigation of the 34" scale, and along with the generous cutaways ensures that access to the upper frets is a breeze. The 11" fingerboard radius is practical for a wide range of playing styles and techniques, and along with the high-profile wide frets delivers a playing experience which is both comfortable and practical across the register.
The amplified tone of the StingRay5 H is unmistakable as a Music Man. Since their introduction in 1976, StingRay basses have been sought after by players for their distinctive tonal character. There is a deep and rich low end growl, with punchy mids and a snappy treble response which blends perfectly into a wide range of musical settings; filling out the low end of the mix and capturing all the attack and sparkle of your playing. The on-board active preamp offers comprehensive control of your sound, with 3-band EQ and master volume controls which allow you to dial in your perfect tone right on the instrument.
