This Stingray 5 HH Special OS is a powerhouse – seriously punchy and versatile thanks to those neodymium humbuckers and active preamp. The roasted maple neck makes it a joy to play, and the Ocean Sparkle finish is just gorgeous. It's ideal for players needing a modern, articulate 5-string with a premium feel, especially in funk, rock, and contemporary genres.

Frequently Asked Questions

The active preamp adds significant output and tonal shaping ability; it’s noticeably brighter and more aggressive, with more defined lows and mids.
The fingerboard is typically finished with a thin layer of lacquer; this provides protection but can result in a slightly drier feel compared to an oiled board – some players prefer to oil it themselves.
Neodymium magnets provide a higher output and a more articulate tone; the sound is generally more aggressive, with a tighter low end and enhanced clarity compared to the classic Stingray sound.
