Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Black Rock is the finish on this right-handed StingRay Special H four-string electric bass. A redesigned neodymium humbucker at the bridge feeds an 18V active preamp, with separate volume, treble, bass, and mid controls for shaping the onboard EQ. The double-cutaway body uses contoured edges, and the five-bolt neck joint is sculpted to support access through the 22nd fret. Music Man lightweight tuners and reduced body mass complete a streamlined instrument for extended stage or studio sessions.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live or studio work where one bridge humbucker and adjustable onboard EQ suit the part.
- Extended sessions where contoured body edges and reduced mass are relevant.
- Players who need access through 22 frets on a right-handed four-string bass.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players, as this bass is listed in right-handed orientation.
- Players who require five or more strings.
