The StingRay bass is one of the most iconic basses and was introduced back in 1976; world famous for its 3+1 tuning screw configuration.
The new StingRay Special is a heavily updated version of the classic. A fantastically nice roasted maple neck treated with gun oil and wax that gives a very nice feel without feeling sticky like many varnished necks can do.
- Stainless bands that are virtually indestructible.
- 3-band active preamplifier at 18 volts for maximum "headroom"
- A very well balanced Humbucker with Neodymium magnets.
- Last but not least. One of the market's most well-balanced instruments.
