Ernie Ball Music Man Ball Family Reserve StingRay 5 Special Fretless Bass

Ernie Ball Music Man has unveiled the Winter 2021 edition of their Ball Family Reserve instruments, including one bass. The BFR Stingray 5 Special Fretless comes in Fuego, a custom Cherry burst finish, over its ash body. Another significant feature is its flame figured roasted maple neck that includes its fretless fingerboard and matching headstock.

“Equipped with a single humbucking pickup with neodymium magnets and a recently upgraded 3-band EQ, this bass delivers all of the familiar StingRay 5’s punch and growl,” the company writes.

EBMM finishes out the look with gold hardware. The Ball Family Reserve StingRay 5 is limited to 105 pieces worldwide. It’s available for order for $2,999.
