Up for sale, a 1994 Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay 4 H in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. As the next landmark company founded by Leo Fender and George Fullerton after the sale of Fender Musical Instruments, Music Man offered an opportunity for this dynamic duo to further refine and build upon Fender's various innovations. Arguably the crown jewel of the Music Man lineup, the StingRay bass has remained largely the same since its introduction in ‘76, featuring the now iconic oval pickguard, solitary bridge humbucker, and active EQ (the first production four-string bass to do so).
Weighing 9lbs 5oz, this bass features a ash body and a one-piece curly maple neck, yielding a balanced, broad acoustic quality with great treble detail and midrange push. The original “8 Magnet Special Design” alnico humbucker offers punchy growl and thick, round thump, with a wide array of tonalities achievable via the active preamp and Treble/Bass EQ knobs. This StingRay has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Translucent Red finish is a rich crimson hue, and cosmetic wear includes some dings at the lower bout perimeter, an area of shallow buckle rash central to the back, and a handful of small marks on the body as a whole. The satin finish on the neck profile is clean and smooth, finished with gunstock oil and a hand-rubbed special wax blend, highlighting the curly figuring in the maple neck, with additional natural finger and palm wear on the profile and fingerboard.
