Neck-through StingRay

Ernie Ball Music Man’s StingRay HS solid-body electric bass gives you the solid bottom end you need to drive the most demanding rhythms.

By combining an ash body and maple through-neck with killer active electronics and Ernie Ball Music Man’s own massive-sounding pickups, the StingRay HS delivers everything you could ask for.

Neck-through design for monumental sustain

The StingRay4 HS owes its great tone and sustains in part to something you can’t even see – a neck-through-body design. This construction technique adds to your sustain in a big way. Since the entire guitar is structurally integrated, with the pickups, bridge, and tailpiece affixed to the actual neck, you’ll get better vibrational and tonal transfer throughout the entire instrument.

Compensated Nut gives you incredibly precise intonation

Every Ernie Ball Music Man guitar or bass with a fixed bridge also has their patented compensated nut, and you’ll hear the precise intonation across the entire neck. As Ernie Ball Music Man describes it, the compensated nut gives each string “an individual intonation pocket that slightly changes the effective string length, causing notes that traditionally play sharp to be more in tune.” It’s just one more way the StingRay4 adds to an already great playing experience.

Killer electronics for super-punchy bass sound

From the very first time you plug in your Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay4 HS, you’ll appreciate both the phenomenal low-end punch and the massive tonal versatility the single-coil and humbucking pickup combo delivers. Granted, the extra-stout pole pieces and wide windings provided by these Alnico pickups contribute a solid basis for your tone, but it’s the StingRay4 HS’s active preamp and 3-band EQ really that let you sculpt your sound. As a result, everyone from Guy Pratt to Cliff Williams to Flea has enjoyed the extreme punch and fluid versatility this amazing instrument has to offer.
