Product Description

Modern Power, Legendary Feel

This 2019 Stingray Special HH is a straight-up beast of a bass, packing all the iconic punch Music Man is known for, but with a whole new level of refinement. Dressed in a killer Charcoal Sparkle finish, this pre-owned bass is in excellent shape and ready to lay down the low end. The real magic starts when you feel the neck—a select roasted maple neck with a gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax finish. It’s impossibly smooth, ridiculously fast, and feels like an old friend from the first note.

Thunder Under the Hood

The heart of this Stingray is its dual neodymium humbucking pickups, powered by an 18-volt active preamp. This setup gives you an incredible amount of clean headroom and a massive tonal palette. You get all the signature Stingray growl and cut, but with more output and a wider frequency response. Whether you need vintage warmth or modern, aggressive punch, the 3-band EQ lets you sculpt your sound with surgical precision.

Total Tonal Control

This isn’t your average one-trick pony. The 5-way lever switch unlocks a whole spectrum of sounds. Position one gives you the full bridge humbucker for that classic, biting Stingray tone that cuts through any mix. Flip to the neck for a warmer, rounder boom. The in-between positions offer glassy, funky tones by splitting the coils, giving you everything from tight, focused snap to wide-open humbucking roar. Combined with the sculpted neck joint for effortless access to all 22 stainless steel frets, this bass is built for serious players who demand versatility.

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Perfect for: Funk • Rock • Pop • Metal

Tone

  • Bridge pickup delivers the iconic, aggressive Stingray growl that punches through a dense mix.
  • Neck pickup offers a warmer, rounder P-bass style thump with rich low-mids.
  • In-between positions provide snappy, articulate, and funky coil-split tones perfect for slap and pop.
  • The 18V preamp provides massive headroom, keeping the tone clean and articulate even when digging in hard.

Playing Feel

  • Well-balanced and lighter than previous Stingray generations, making for a comfortable playing experience.
  • The gunstock oil and wax finish on the roasted maple neck is exceptionally fast and smooth, never sticky.
  • Instantly responsive to playing dynamics, from a light touch to aggressive picking.
  • The sculpted 5-bolt neck joint allows for comfortable and easy access to the upper frets.

Versatility

  • Goes from clean, hi-fi slap tones to gritty, overdriven rock sounds with ease.
  • The powerful, clean signal from the 18V preamp makes it a fantastic platform for pedals.
  • A studio secret weapon—the 5-way switch offers a huge range of foundational tones before you even touch an amp.
  • Sits perfectly in any mix thanks to the powerful EQ and distinct pickup voicings.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

A ton. You get the classic bridge humbucker growl and the warm neck humbucker boom, but the three in-between positions offer unique single-coil and combined-coil sounds that are perfect for funk, pop, and more nuanced styles. It’s way more versatile than a standard Stingray.
Roasting the maple removes moisture and impurities, making the neck incredibly stable and resistant to humidity shifts. Tonally, it adds a little snap and resonance. For the player, it just feels amazing and broken-in from day one, especially with the hand-rubbed oil and wax finish.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
In-stock gear typically ships within 1-2 business days (Mon-Fri). Most orders arrive in 1-4 business days via UPS Ground, depending on your distance from Indiana. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
