Sterling Ball has been at the forefront of the music business for over 40 years. In the 80s, Sterling resurrected the Music Man line of guitars and basses, blending the classic Music Man designs of the 70s with modern construction techniques. Today, the Music Man line not only includes the classic Stingray bass but a strong lineup of stock and signature guitars as well. The quality is premium, rivaling many custom builders, but at a production price. ...And their finishes! Some of their colors have to be seen to be believed. We always have a large selection in stock and many on order to keep our customers happy...and curious about what might be coming 'round the bend.

One of the coolest EB designs, this Ernie Ball MM Bongo Bass is fully loaded with dual humbuckers. The Bongo was originally designed in '03 as a collaboration between EB and Designworks (best known for their work with automakers BMW!). This is sleek, innovative and sounds incredible - plus it's really built for the long haul. Everything from the Schaller BM tuners to the famous EBMM hardened steel bridge are top notch all the way. This Ernie Ball MM Bongo Bass comes with a hard case too.
"This bass is without question the coolest, sickest sounding bass I have ever heard from Music Man. The 18 volt on-board preamp with independently adjustable high and low mids are this bass' secret weapon. This bass is amazing!" - Matthew K.
The Bongo's modern looks are only surpassed by its incredible tone. Extremely clear and well defined, while never sounding overly treble-y or harsh. This is one of the coolest new basses I've seen in a while." - Matt C.
"18-volt active electronics with both high-mid and low-mid shape-ability, make this the best sounding, most versatile bass in the store right now. Period." - Jason J.

The Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 4 bass has been regarded as one of the finest since its inception in 1976, and we're in complete agreement. When you know what you're after musically, this is the one to get. You've got a killer humbucking pickup with an active preamp, an amazing bridge, and superior EB design from stem to stern. One of store favorites. This comes with a hard case as well.
"The classic styling of this bass really appeals to my eye, it looks great in black. Although I'm usually a fan of Rosewood fretboards, I really like the Maple board on this one. Everything about this Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 4 bass is top shelf. It is very resonate and plays so well." - Tim N.

From the moment you put your hands on this Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 5, you can feel that this is a fantastic bass. The Graphite Pearl finish is absolutely the coolest. The single humbucker, 3-way switch and 3-band EQ is all you need to extensively diversify your tone. Simple to use and sounds awesome. The less common black knobs give this bass a great touch too. - Matthew K.

An outstanding bass all the way around. This Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 5 comes with a hard case as well.
