The StingRay 5 Special in Dazzler carries the same DNA that’s made the StingRay a staple since the late ’70s - muscular humbucker tone, responsive active electronics, and a fast, comfortable neck. It’s the 5-string evolution trusted by players like Tony Levin, Bernard Edwards, John Deacon, Tom Hamilton, and Flea. A modern take on a classic, dressed in a jaw-dropping Dazzler finish.
First introduced in 1976, the StingRay has been revered as one of the most iconic bass guitars in history. The StingRay was one of the first production four string basses to feature onboard active equalization. The flagship of the Music Man line, today's StingRay retains the same signature features that it had some forty years ago, including a solid roadworthy construction, iconic oval pickguard, 3+1 tuning key configuration, and the ever-popular Music Man humbucker — all of which combine to produce a look, feel, and sound that is remarkably unmistakable.
