The StingRay Bass has been a staple of modern rock, funk, and R&B since the 1970s. This incomparable Ernie Ball Music Man BFR StingRay Special 5 H reflects the finest craftsmanship, tonewoods, and electronics available across the Ernie Ball Music Man bass lineup. Its gleaming, color-shifting Kinetic Blue finish makes for one-of-a-kind looks and collectibility. But make no mistake: this BFR is a bona fide groove machine that’s built to be played. And a powerful neodymium humbucker with 3-band EQ, fed by a robust 18-volt delivery system, dishes out a buffet of iconic StingRay punch and presence. This Ernie Ball Music Man BFR StingRay Special 5 H is a limited edition of only 85 basses worldwide, so don’t miss out !
When Ernie Ball Music Man designates one of their instruments as Ball Family Reserve, you better believe it means top-quality craftsmanship and materials. The BFR StingRay Special 5 H is a perfect example of this. From the very first time you plug in, you’ll appreciate both the phenomenal low-end punch and the massive tonal versatility its sonically superior humbucker delivers. Granted, this neodymium pickup’s stout pole pieces and beefy windings supply a solid foundation for your tone, but it’s the BFR StingRay Special 5 H’s 18-volt active preamp and 3-band EQ that really let you sculpt your sound.
When it comes to bass, 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 the perfect balance of comfort, speed, and stability. For the BFR StingRay Special 5 H, they spec’d premium white maple for the neck and ebony for the fingerboard. A special curing process removes moisture from the wood, strengthening it while reducing weight and and making the neck more impervious to changes in temperature and humidity. You’ll appreciate this as the seasons roll around or if you gig far and wide! A 5-bolt contoured neck join supplies rock-solid tuning and vibration transfer to the body, while providing you with easy access to the upper register of the instrument.
The BFR StingRay Special 5 H, like the rest of Ernie Ball Music Man’s StingRay bass lineup, claims roots that trace back to the 1970s, when Ernie Ball Music Man was founded. Armed with a fat and punchy humbucker, premium electronics, and a delightfully chunky neck, it’s no wonder the StingRay became a standard for world-class bass players such as Tony Levin, John Myung, Dave LaRue, Bernard Edwards, Gail Ann Dorsey, Cliff Williams, and countless others.
