MUSIC MAN STINGRAY 4 SPECIAL HADES BLACK

Exceptional versatility and design.
The Ball family is the last of a dying breed, a family business making premium guitars and basses on the California central coast since 1984. Sterling Ball, alongside his sons Brian and Scott, combine the laser precision of robotics and old-world hand craftsmanship to develop innovative instrument designs that push the boundaries of performance and playability.

Limited to just 81 pieces, this BFR StingRay Special H features an exclusive Hades Black finish with all black hardware. The figured roasted maple neck with rosewood fretboard showcases attractive white pearl block inlays and hand fitted white binding for an upscale elegant appearance. 3-ply black/white/black pickguard complete the aesthetic. Each bass ships with a numbered certificate of authenticity. Includes hardshell case.
