For five decades, the StingRay has set the benchmark for bold, forward-leaning bass tone. The Ernie Ball Music Man 50th Anniversary StingRay Special honors that legacy with two limited-edition finishes. Liquid Gold is hand-numbered and limited to 50 instruments worldwide, featuring a striking golden reflective pickguard for a truly exclusive presentation. Molten Gold, limited to 300 instruments, showcases a metallic gold finish on the body and headstock—each with its own unique character. Both versions are paired with an ebony fretboard featuring gold dot inlays on the face and glow-in-the-dark side markers for effortless navigation on any stage. A roasted flame maple neck and poplar body deliver a fast, comfortable, and perfectly balanced feel, while gold hardware throughout, including a 50th Anniversary-stamped bridge, completes the look. Finished with a commemorative 50th Anniversary silkscreen on the back of the headstock, each bass ships in a deluxe hardshell case with a certificate of authenticity.

Celebrating 50 years of the iconic StingRay, these Golden Anniversary editions pay tribute to five decades of innovation, tone, and unmistakable style. Built with resonant poplar bodies, they deliver a balanced, responsive low-end growl with exceptional clarity and sustain. The roasted maple necks are paired with sleek ebony fretboards featuring elegant gold dot inlays, while glow-in-the-dark side dots provide precision and visibility on any stage. Finished in a striking high-gloss buff, these commemorative StingRays blend heritage craftsmanship with forward-looking performance—celebrating half a century of punch, clarity, and authority.
The StingRay 4’s tight low end, punchy mids, and unmistakable attack have defined modern bass for five decades. Its legendary 34" scale delivers the perfect balance of tension, clarity, and feel—producing a focused, articulate response that cuts through any mix. These Golden Anniversary editions celebrate that enduring legacy with powerful neodymium-powered pickups, delivering increased output, expanded frequency range, and the dynamic headroom that has made the StingRay sound instantly recognizable around the world.
Featuring a stamped 50th Anniversary gold-plated steel plate with matching gold-plated stainless steel saddles, this top-loading bridge enhances string attack and resonance, delivering the bright, punchy tone and sustain that have defined the Music Man Stingray sound for decades.
