Description

The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 Special HH in Fallout Green is a full-throttle, no-compromise bass machine built for players who demand crushing tone, slick playability, and head-turning style. With a legacy that redefined the low-end landscape, the StingRay 5 Special continues Ernie Ball Music Man's tradition of excellence, pairing cutting-edge tech with unmatched craftsmanship. This beast of a bass doesn’t just growl—it roars.

Its sleek body, crafted from select hardwood and finished in a dazzling high-gloss Fallout Green polyester, delivers both visual swagger and tonal punch. The dual Neodymium-powered humbuckers pump out massive low-end and articulate highs, while the 3-way pickup selector and 18V 3-band active EQ (volume, treble, mid, bass) give you the tools to shape your tone from clean and focused to thunderously aggressive. And thanks to superior graphite acrylic shielding and an aluminum-lined pickguard, it’s dead-quiet when it should be, even at brutal volume.

The performance-driven neck features select roasted maple with a silky gunstock oil and wax finish, offering supreme comfort and control. The rosewood fingerboard, with a comfy 11" radius and 22 stainless steel high-profile, wide frets, makes for fast, fluid movement across its 34" scale. Add in the 1-3/4" nut width, custom lightweight tuners, and five-bolt sculpted neck joint, and you've got precision, stability, and effortless access to the upper frets.

Weighing in at 8 lbs 13 oz and housed in an EBMM/Mono case, the StingRay 5 Special HH is built like a tank and plays like a dream. From stage to studio, funk to metal, it’s the ultimate weapon in the modern bassist’s arsenal—ferocious, refined, and undeniably badass.
