Music Man StingRay Special 5 HH: Double the Humbuckers, Double the Trouble
Let’s be honest: sometimes one humbucker just isn't enough to wake the neighbors. The Music Man StingRay Special 5 HH takes the legendary thump of the original StingRay and doubles down with a second neodymium humbucker in the neck position. This isn't just a bass; it's a sonic sledgehammer capable of knocking down walls or soothing savage beasts, depending on how you dial it in. By pairing this dual-pickup firepower with a re-engineered, lightweight ash body, Music Man has created a five-string monster that delivers massive tone without the massive backache. It’s the heavyweight champion of the world, fighting in the featherweight division.
A Neck That Feels Like Home
If wrestling with a five-string usually feels like hugging a telephone pole, prepare for a revelation. The StingRay Special 5 HH features a roasted maple neck that has been heat-treated to perfection. This roasting process removes moisture, resulting in rock-solid stability and a caramel-colored aesthetic that looks good enough to eat (please don't). But the real magic is in the feel. Finished with a gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax blend, the back of the neck is smoother than a jazz club pickup line. Paired with 22 stainless steel frets that are virtually indestructible, this neck invites you to play faster, cleaner, and longer without fighting the instrument.
The Ultimate Tone Laboratory
While the classic StingRay growl is present and accounted for, the "HH" configuration unlocks a universe of new sounds. With two powerful neodymium humbuckers and a 5-way pickup selector, you can shift from that signature bridge-pickup punch to thick, vintage-style warmth in the neck position—and explore funky, scooped coil-split sounds in between. It’s like having five different basses in one gig bag. Controlling this beast is a re-voiced 18-volt, 3-band active preamp that offers massive headroom. Boost the bass to shake the floorboards or crank the treble for glass-shattering slap tone, all without your signal clipping or getting mushy.
Ready for the Road
The StingRay Special 5 HH is built for the player who needs reliability as much as they need tone. From the sculpted 5-bolt neck joint that gives you easy access to the high notes to the lightweight custom tuners that cure neck dive, every detail has been obsessed over. It’s a road-ready warrior that delivers consistent performance night after night, whether you're in a sweaty club or a sterile studio. And because an instrument this refined deserves first-class travel accommodations, it ships in a premium Mono case. Stop compromising and start playing the five-string that can truly do it all.
