The classic bass design with a hugely expanded palette of sounds. Incredible.

Manufacturer's description
Few 4-string electric basses are as flat-out cool or have as much powerful tone as the Music Man StingRay. Introduced in 1976, the StingRay was the first bass to feature active electronics and advancements such as a 6-bolt neck joint, contoured body, superior neck truss-rod system, and rock-solid bridge, all of which keep it on top of the pack. The StingRay is constructed with a select hardwood body, maple neck, Schaller BM tuners, 3-band active EQ, and two MusicMan humbucking pickups.

Pros
Traditional StingRay looks Pickup switching options Great sounds
Cons
It's really very hard to find fault with such a great all-rounder
The bottom line
The StingRay HH a truly fantastic bass. Not only does it look truly stunning, but it produces an equally stunning variety of solid sounds to die for. A humbucker and single-coil combination is available at the same price should you prefer it. Of course, both models are also available as a five string. What more could you possibly want?
