Killer electronics for super-punchy bass sound
From the very first time you plug in your Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 H, you'll appreciate both the phenomenal low-end punch and the massive tonal versatility its soapbar-style humbucker delivers. Granted, the Alnico pickup's stout pole pieces and beefy windings supply a solid foundation for your tone, but it's the StingRay 5 H's active preamp and 3-band EQ that really sculpt your sound. As a result, everyone from shoegazer-era rockers to funk masters have enjoyed the extreme punch this amazing instrument delivers.
Smooth-playing maple neck/rosewood fingerboard combo
There's simply no substitute for a great neck. Ernie Ball Music Man put a ton of work into developing a neck that would provide you with the perfect balance of comfort, speed, and stability, and for this StingRay 5 H they spec'd select maple for the neck and rosewood for the fingerboard. Perfect for sculpting your unique signature sound! The gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax blend on the back of the StingRay 5 H's neck feels amazing and lets your hand glide along effortlessly. And bass players here at Sweetwater really dig its 6-bolt attachment — it easily surpasses the stability of many set necks.
Loaded with StingRay style, sound, and innovation

Armed with fat and punchy humbuckers, active electronics, and a delightfully chunky neck, it's no wonder the StingRay became a standard for renowned bass players as Guy Pratt, Cliff Williams, and Flea.
