Music Man Stingray Short Scale Tobacco Burst

The StingRay in a shorter scale length, with the same tone that made bassists worldwide famous

The Music Man StingRay is a legend. And the Short Scale version proves you don't need long arms to master that iconic tone. With a 30-inch scale length, this bass offers a more comfortable playing experience without compromising on sound: the same punchy, warm lows that have defined the StingRay for decades, now accessible to a wider group of bassists.

The humbucker pickup, equipped with higher output neodymium magnets, has been specially developed for the short scale and delivers a full, round tone with character. The 3-way rotary switch allows you to switch between parallel, true single-coil, and series mode, providing a remarkably wide tonal palette for a single-pickup bass. From smooth jazz tones to thick soul grooves, the StingRay Short Scale responds to everything you put into it.

The body is crafted from basswood, the roasted maple neck features a maple fretboard with 22 stainless steel frets and black dot inlays. The lightweight Music Man tuning machines ensure excellent balance and stable tuning. The Modern Classic bridge and chrome hardware complete the instrument. The electronics offer volume, treble, and bass controls in combination with the rotary selector for maximum tone control.

Whether you're looking for your first bass with a comfortable scale length, or an experienced player seeking a lighter option for longer shows: the Music Man StingRay Short Scale Tobacco Burst is a serious instrument that speaks for itself.
