Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 in Black, (Used)

The Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 5 in black features a contoured solid hardwood body finished in a high-gloss black that contrasts with the deep shimmer of the pickguard. Its six-bolt maple neck and fingerboard provide a smooth playing surface across 22 frets and a full 34" scale. The satin finish on the back enhances comfort during extended sessions.

This model is equipped with a single neodymium humbucker positioned at the bridge, wired to an 9-volt active preamp with a 3-band EQ. The combination delivers tight, punchy low end, articulate mids, and focused highs with exceptional clarity and output. A single volume control and three EQ knobs give precise tonal shaping, while the pickup’s placement offers an aggressive, responsive tone suited for a wide range of playing styles.

A heavy-duty Music Man bridge with stainless steel saddles ensures tuning stability and sustain, while the black hardware complements the minimalist, modern aesthetic. Overall, the StingRay 5 with a single humbucker in black and black pearloid brings together ergonomic design, cutting-edge electronics, and a bold visual identity for players who value power and simplicity in a five-string bass.
