Shopping by serial number allows you the convenience of buying online combined with the essence of the in-store experience. At AMS, what you see is what you get.
Great tone shouldn't demand a wingspan. The Ernie Ball Music Man Short Scale StingRay delivers that legendary, thumpy StingRay low-end in a body that's easier to grab, easier to hold, and a whole lot easier to play. Its 30-inch scale tightens up the spacing between frets, so reaches feel shorter and hand fatigue takes a hike—perfect for players with smaller hands, guitarists crossing over to bass, or anyone who just wants their groove to flow without a fight. Wrapped in a black high-gloss polyester finish over a solid ash body, this bass looks as sharp as it sounds. If you crave signature StingRay muscle with modern, no-nonsense comfort, this one's for you.
Comfort starts under your fingers, and the Short Scale StingRay comes ready to play. That 30-inch scale shrinks the stretch, so fast lines and long sets feel effortless instead of exhausting. The roasted maple neck wears a friendly C profile and a gunstock oil and hand-rubbed wax finish that stays silky-smooth—no sticky lacquer slowing you down. Up top, a slick ebony fretboard with an 11-inch radius keeps your fretting hand comfortable whether you're walking lines or digging into a groove, while 22 high-profile stainless steel frets deliver crisp definition and years of smooth, reliable service. Add an easy-access truss rod that adjusts with no string or component removal, and dialing in your ideal setup is a breeze.
Plug in and feel the foundation. At the heart of this bass sits a passive StingRay humbucker loaded with high-output neodymium magnets, specially designed for the short scale to serve up that warm, round, unmistakable StingRay thump. The real magic? A 3-way rotary switch that flips between parallel, true single-coil, and series modes, handing you everything from fat, punchy grind to clean, articulate snap—all from one knob. Anchoring your strings, the vintage Music Man top-loaded bridge with steel plate and nickel-plated saddles keeps your sustain rich and your restringing simple, while lightweight custom Music Man tuning machines with tapered posts and that clever clover design keep the headstock balanced and your pitch dead-on.
The Short Scale StingRay is proof that easier playing and serious tone can live on the same instrument. It looks clean, feels comfortable, and pumps out that big, round StingRay sound you already love—just in a package that welcomes every kind of player. Whether you're laying down studio grooves, gigging across town, or picking up your first bass, this short scale gem keeps up with all of it. Order yours today, tuck it into the included Mono soft case, and go make some noise.
