The all-new Cliff Williams Icon Series StingRay Bass is the first in a series of limited handcrafted replicas made to capture the look, sound, and essence of iconic Music Man instruments. Initially dubbed “The #1 Workhorse,” Cliff's 1979 Stingray has been his favorite bass for more than 40 years. Built to the exacting specifications of his original, every detail and characteristic was carefully examined and addressed. Body contours, neck carve, pickup construction, and decades of wear and tear were dutifully replicated by Music Man’s team of master craftsmen. The resulting outcome is a finely crafted period-correct instrument that looks, feels, and sounds just like Cliff’s #1 Stingray bass.
Only 26 available worldwide.
Listen to our podcast episode with Cliff Williams and Ernie Ball Music Man engineer Blair Ridings.
String-through body bridge with stainless steel saddles replicates the classic Stingray design. The original rubber mute pads have been removed per Cliff's set up requirements because you can't mute rock and roll.

3-Bolt chrome plated neck attachment with Micro-Tilt provides neck angle adjustment without the need for shims. Firm neck and neck pocket tolerances ensures a tight fit with no shifting.
The 2 band preamp is a hand-soldered circuit board constructed with high-quality components using vintage correct ceramic disc capacitors.
