By combining top-notch hardware, a chunky yet comfortable neck, a massive-sounding humbucker, and killer electronics, the StingRay 4 H delivers everything a serious bass player could ask for. Pick up a Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 4 H from Sweetwater, and find out what all the hype is about.

Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 4 H Bass at a Glance:
  • Killer electronics for super-punchy bass sound
  • Extra-beefy yet totally playable neck feels amazing
  • Loaded with StingRay style, sound, and innovation
Killer electronics for super-punchy bass sound

From the very first time you plug in your Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 4 H, you'll appreciate the phenomenal low-end punch its lone soapbar-style humbucking pickup delivers. Granted, the extra-stout pole pieces and wide windings provided by this alnico pickup contribute a solid basis for your tone, but its the StingRay 4 H's active preamp and 3-band EQ really that let you sculpt your sound. As a result, everyone from shoegazer-era rockers to funk masters have enjoyed the extreme punch this amazing instrument has to offer.

Extra-beefy yet totally playable neck feels amazing

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. The StingRay 4 H's 1-5/8" nut gives you plenty of room to play and the 11" radius fingerboard gives you excellent string-to-string separation. Finished with gunstock oil and a hand-rubbed special wax blend, the back of the StingRay 4 H's neck feels amazing and lets you hand glide along effortlessly. And with its 6-bolt attachment, this bolt-on neck delivers stability that easily surpasses most set necks.

Loaded with StingRay style, sound, and innovation

The StingRay 4 H, like the rest of Ernie Ball Music Man's StingRay bass lineup, claims roots that run back to 1971, when Ernie Ball Music Man was founded. Armed with a fat and punchy humbucker, active electronics, and a delightfully chunky neck it's no wonder the StingRay became a standard for such bass players as Guy Pratt, Cliff Williams, and Flea.

Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 4 H Bass Features:
  • A performance-built bass any serious player can appreciate
  • Beefy humbucker with active 3-band EQ gives you fat and punchy tone
  • Ash body coupled with a chunky maple neck delivers amazing comfort and sustain
  • Outfitted with Schaller tuners and a hardened steel bridge for maximum stability
