The first bass designed by Ernie Ball Music Man, the StingRay 5 was unveiled in 1987 and has been an industry standard for extended range basses ever since. With its powerful punchy sound, the added flexibility of additional pickups, and a comfortably contoured body, the StingRay 5 satisfies even the most demanding of players.
Violet Sparkle Burst pairs a burst sparkle finish with a vintage white pearloid pickguard, chrome hardware, and a roasted maple neck with rosewood fretboard.
This bass is brand new and in factory fresh condition, with no dings, dents, fretwear, or shop wear. It will come with the original Ernie Ball branded Mono case and factory packaging. Yes, the legendary DuBaldo Music Center case candy is also included!
