This commemorative edition was a limited run of just 300 instruments worldwide and this particular bass was displayed at NAMM 2026, adding an extra layer of provenance and collectibility. Weighing 9.28 lbs, with 11 in fretboard radius, it lands comfortably within the classic StingRay range—substantial enough for piano-like lows and sustain, yet balanced and stage-friendly for long sets without shoulder fatigue. Condition remains pristine with zero wear, no scratches, no dings, and untouched frets. It plays exceptionally well right out of the case with smooth action and articulate response across the neck. The roasted and beautifully flamed neck is a visual highlight, pairing stability with striking figure, while the Molten Gold finish shifts and moves under light, giving the instrument a dynamic, almost liquid presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-end=\"1171\" data-start=\"1133\"\u003eMolten Gold, Spotlight Provenance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1663\" data-start=\"1172\"\u003eThe 50th Anniversary StingRay honors the original blueprint while elevating it with refined aesthetics and premium appointments. Limited to just 300 pieces worldwide and showcased at NAMM 2026, this example blends exclusivity with true stage-ready performance. The Molten Gold finish is rich, dimensional, and unmistakably bold—simultaneously vintage-inspired and modern in execution. Every contour feels intentional, from the forearm carve to the perfectly weighted body balance on a strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-end=\"1697\" data-start=\"1664\"\u003eThe Legendary StingRay Voice\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2102\" data-start=\"1698\"\u003eAt the heart of the StingRay experience is its commanding active electronics and signature humbucking pickup configuration.
