Ernie Ball Music Man 50th Anniversary StingRay Molten Gold

Weight: 9.4 lbs

DESCRIPTION

For five decades, the StingRay has set the benchmark for bold, forward-leaning bass tone. The Ernie Ball Music Man 50th Anniversary StingRay Special Molten Gold edition celebrates that legacy with a limited run of just 300 instruments worldwide.

Molten Gold features a metallic gold finish across both the body and headstock, with each instrument displaying its own unique character and depth. An ebony fretboard with gold face dot inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers ensures effortless navigation on any stage. The roasted flame maple neck pairs with a poplar body for a fast, comfortable, and perfectly balanced feel.

Gold hardware throughout - including a 50th Anniversary-stamped bridge - completes the cohesive aesthetic. A commemorative 50th Anniversary silkscreen on the back of the headstock marks the occasion, and each bass ships in a deluxe hardshell case with a certificate of authenticity.

INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED

After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
