Here’s something special – an Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray BFR Redwood Top 4-string bass, one of 100 built. These basses feature a highly figured Redwood top on an Ash body, paired to a Mahogany neck with Indian Rosewood fingerboard, patented compensated nut, and Ball Family Reserve octave inlay. The bass is in excellent condition with very little wear.
This Music Man Stingray BFR example has a single humbucking pickup in the bridge position and a three-band EQ powered by a single standard 9v battery. The controls include volume, then active treble, mid and bass.
The original rectangular hard shell case by G&G is included and contains the Certificate of Authenticity.
Ball Family Reserve or BFR models are made in limited runs using low-availability, high-quality materials. Here’s the company on the Ball Family Reserve line:
“Ball Family Reserve is a celebration of our heritage in instrument craftsmanship which features some of the finest figured tone woods and finishes available. These rare pieces are offered in limited production runs and allow us to present instruments to the public that were previously reserved for family and our loyal artists.
The Ball family is the last of a dying breed, a family business making premium guitars and basses on the California central coast since 1984. Sterling Ball, alongside his sons Brian and Scott, combine the laser precision of robotics and old-world hand craftsmanship to develop innovative instrument designs that push the boundaries of performance and playability. ”
