StingRay Tone Meets Reduced-scale Playability
The look and tone of the StingRay bass series come to an easier-playing design in the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Short Scale bass. Whether you're a bass player looking for greater comfort and reach or a guitar player who wants an easier transition between instruments, you'll find it in this bass. The StingRay Short Scale's lightweight and resonant ash body is more than matched by its select maple neck, which, together, provide loads of natural snap and sustain on top of sworn-by reduced-scale playability. A single bridge humbucker delivers the punch and dynamics you need to reach deep into the pocket of a groove or rise above a mix.

Short-scale maple neck
Rock, soul, and RnB bassists have long lauded the benefits of the classic short-scale design, not only for its playability, but also for its bumpy, thumpy, rubbery tone. A great-playing short-scale neck is exactly what you get in this StingRay. Topping it all off is a 5-bolt sculpted neck joint, delivering stability unsurpassed by other designs.
Loaded with StingRay style, sound, and innovation
Armed with a fat and punchy humbucker and player-informed design, it's no wonder the StingRay has become a standard for such bass players as Guy Pratt, Cliff Williams, and Flea. The StingRay Short Scale brings unsurpassed Music Man tone and playability to a new era and demographic of bassists.
