Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Bass – 2005 (Translucent Teal)
This stunning StingRay comes in a rare translucent teal finish that really shows off the grain beneath. Built in 2005 at the Ernie Ball/Music Man factory in San Luis Obispo, California, this bass is every bit the rock ’n’ roll machine you’d expect. With that unmistakable fat, punchy Music Man tone, it delivers serious low-end thump and crisp clarity — perfect for both stage and studio.
The maple neck is exceptionally comfortable in the hand, offering smooth playability right up the board. This example has been well cared for and is in very good condition, showing only minor playwear here and there. It comes complete with its original hard case for safe storage and transport.
