Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Short Scale – Midnight Confetti – K15682

Description

The Ernie Ball Music Man Short Scale StingRay bass offers a big thumpy round sound in a convenient smaller package. A 30” scale allows for easier playability due to the shorter spacing between the frets. The Ernie Ball Music Man passive humbucking pickup, equipped with higher output neodymium magnets, has been specially designed for the short scale bass, providing its signature warm tone. The electronics package includes a 3-way rotary switch featuring parallel, true single-coil, and series modes. Like its big brother, the Stingray Special, the short scale bass comes standard with a modern classic bridge, 22 stainless steel frets, and lightweight Music Man tuning machines.

This StingRay Short Scale is in factory-fresh condition, with no dings, dents, fretwear, or shop wear. The guitar will come with the original hard-shell case, and will ship in the factory packaging.  DuBaldo Music Center’s legendary case candy is also included.
