Ernie Ball Musicman StingRay 2 EQ H Bass in Candy Apple Red Electric Bass, (Used)

The Ernie Ball Musicman StingRay 2 EQ H Bass is a professional‑grade electric bass guitar finished in Candy Apple Red, part of the iconic Music Man StingRay lineage known for punchy low end and punchy tone shaping. It uses a solid select hardwood body with a classic high‑gloss polyester Candy Apple Red finish and a maple neck with a satin finish and a rosewood fingerboard featuring side dot markers. The instrument is built on a 34‑inch scale length (standard for full‑size bass guitars) with 21 high‑profile wide frets and a 1 5/8‑inch (41.3 mm) nut width, providing balanced tension and comfortable fretting across the neck.

Electronics on this bass consist of a single Music Man humbucking pickup paired with an active 2‑band preamp (bass and treble EQ), controlled via knobs for volume, treble, and bass. This active EQ system allows players to boost or cut low and high frequencies, shaping the instrument’s characteristic punchy low‑end and midrange presence for different playing styles and amplification setups. The pickup uses Alnico magnets to deliver a classic StingRay‑style voice with clarity and definition.

Hardware includes a chrome‑plated hardened steel bridge with stainless steel saddles and Schaller BM tuning machines with tapered string posts, ensuring stable tuning and solid resonance transfer from the strings to the body. A black pickguard contrasts with the Candy Apple Red finish, and the ergonomic contoured body gives comfortable access across the fingerboard for stage or studio use.
